Of a Ladyes Cabinet.

A vertuous Lady sitting in a muse,
As oftentimes faire vertuous Ladyes vse,
Did leane her elbow on her knee full hard,
The other distant from it halfe a yard.
Her Knight to taunt her with some priuie token,
Said, Wife, awake, your Cabinet stands open.
Shee rose, and blusht, and smil'd, and soft did say,
Then locke it if you list, you keepe the key.
