202Domina, non Sponsa perita.

You wisht me to a wife fayre, rich, and young,
That had the Lattin, French and Spanish toung;
With thankes I told you, I desir'd none such,
Lying, one language might be tongue too much,
But loue not I the learn'd? yes as my life,
A learned Mistresse, not a learned wife.
