Epigram. 29. In Friscum.
Friscus feeling his purse-strings in good plight,Would needs in all post hast be made a Knight.
And told his wife she should be Ladyfied,
To whom halfe moou'd, she snappishly replied,
I Madam? meaner titles will fit me,
Your Mistresse I, I'le not your Lady bee.
Next, will you buy your Knight-hood like a mome,
When you may gratis here be dub'd at home?
