Epig. XVIII.
He that shall aske, what reason I can shewWhy vertue should be Fœminine, may know,
The faire Pandora, vnto whom was giuen
Each seu'rall vertue by the Gods of heauen,
A woman was: who askes, what Honour is,
An Angel vpon earth and not amisse
Let him suppose; else Honour let him take,
For that Pandora, which the Gods did make.
