Epigr. 20. In Misum & Mopsam.

Misus and Mopsa hardly could agree,
Striuing about superioritie.
The text which sayth that man and wife are one.
Was the chiefe argument they stoode vpon.
She held they both one woman should become.
He held both should be man, and both but one.
So they contended dayly, but the the strife,
Could not be ended, till both were one wife.
