Dame VVills sentence in the young wifes behalf against hir old husband.
Youth a quoth maddam Will, with greate reguardHaue J, this thy sadd information heard
And doe bewaile the same; but Jle' haue thee
Plague thy old husband, for his Jeolosee.
Yet Ieolous-headed men noe plagues doe neede
For in themselues, sufficient plagues doe breede
For looke in what place, Jealosie doth dwell
There are the tormentes, of an earthlie hell.
Yet since for naught, he doubts soe faire a dame
Thus shalt thou sting and torture him, forth'same.
Jn secrett wise, Jle haue thee staine his bedd,
And graft faire guilded hornes, on's silverd head
Such glorious spriggs soe well in noe place growes
As in the riv'led furrowes of an old mans browes.
Thou art a woman, therefore canst not want
At all tymes skill, such setts and grafts, to plant
As make him thinke his father to that child
Which thou thy selfe knowst not who it begott
To gather goodes for whom, shall th'old drudg trott
Not sparing night nor daie, till's life be done
Howe to scrape wealth, to giue anothers sonn
And cause thy parents, forste thee to his bedd
Thus will J haue thy parents punnished.
Thou shalt, vnto theire skarlet blushing shame,
Besport them with the spotts, of thy staind name
Soyling thy wedding sheetes, faire J'vry white
With fowle black spotts, of salt lusts loathd delight
Bewteous youtha my sentence nowe is done
See that on them the'res execution.
