Satire 23.
[Mjlda? since you betooke your self to wiue]
Mjlda? since you betooke your self to wiue,I hope y'aue tane the skillfulst tricks to thriue.
The time was Milda when your slender back,
(To couer it) a gowne well-nie did lack.
But now, nor gowne, nor nothing else you want,
What can you aske? but straight it has a graunt.
Manie Maidens, manie things would choake,
Had they (as you haue) Milda such a cloake.
For doe you heare? it may not be denaied
But cloakes fitts wiues, when they'le not doe a maide
Yet Milda faith I speake it to your grace,
You should haue chose your cloake with better face.
