Epigram. 27. In duas meretrices litigantes.

Francke and Kate wage law, wherefore?
Because that Francis calld Kate whore;
Yet Kate is knowne, and Francis too,
Wenches that will not sticke to doe:
Faith Kate, let fall thy Action
Law prooues it no detraction:
I, him that weaues, a Weauer call,
No vantage to be got at all:
And how can Francke be found too blame,
That to thy trade so fits thy name.
