 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 112. Against Collophus his couetous choyce of a wife.
If fained Louers marry, they will liueLike foes vnfained: but our Collophus
Hath wed a Widdow, that's full eighty fiue;
Yet farre lesse olde then she is lecherous;
He married her for Mucke, she him for lust,
The Motiues fowle, then fowly liue they must.
