Epig. 157. To Pontilian .

Pontilian , art thou iealous o're thy Wife?
Th'art wise; but, art Not? then I say th'art wise;
Watch Her, or Not, in vaine is all thy strife,
For, if Shee list, Shee'le Foole thee 'fore thine eyes:
But, Shee's a Wife most Louing, wise and iust,
Who, though She could, ne're wrongs her Housbands trust.
