EPIGRAM. 48.

[Philip, and Franck, and such like names there bee]

Philip, and Franck, and such like names there bee
That alike to both sexes doe agree:
Will is a name to men alonely due,
VVomen so call'd as yet I neuer knew.
Yet mought they well, being for the most part still,
So aukward, and so giuen to their will.
Or else, that the confusion may be lesse,
Will, be a mans name: womans, wilfulnesse.
