A hard choyce.

Epi. 184.

I faine would marry; but, more faine liue sole,
Though without wife, I am but halfe my whole:
For, man and wife one body make; and some
By marrying, marre two Bodies. I am dumbe,
Or, know not what to say: For, this good-naught
Makes me a fickle Sheptick in my thought:


Yet, when I meane to wed, Ile leaue their Schoole,
And, to be held more wise, play more the foole.
