Epig. 91. The Imparatiue Moode.

To my Lady Myso.

I wonder greatly what thy Mood should be,
Indicatiue? no, that doth reason shew,
But thine is madd; nor Subiunctiue I see,
That should depend sole on thy husband true.
But thine, sans doubt, is the Imperatiue,
Which makes thee dayly with thy Make to striue.
