Epigram. 79. In Cinnam.
When
Cinna saw, how that his spouse misse-led
Had not beene true vnto his nuptiall bed.
It irk't him, and his griefe did so abound,
That at the length he fell into a swound.
His neighbours sent-for came vnto his aide;
At length recouer'd, like one halfe dismaide,
He lifts me vp his dreary drouping eyes,
And then bespoke his friendes there in this wise.
Not being Cuckold makes me in this traunce,
Neighbours, alas, you know, a common chaunce!
Had any other woman seru'd me so,
It had not mou'd me halfe so much; but ô
This, this it is, that grieues me to the life,
That I should be made Cuckold by my wife.
