To Cosmo on his fair scolding wife.

Smoak makes one fair, yet saies the Proverb, where
It alwaies smoaks, 'tis a soul sign that there
A dangerous Scold doth dwel, whose fiery tongue
Outdo's the fire and draws the smoak along.
The troubled house. Cosmo th'hast light upon
A fair scold to thy wife, the Question
Whither her tongue, that charm'd these clouds to rise,
Or the smoak, cause so many crying eies.
