42 Of bagge and baggage.

A man appointed, vpon losse of life,
With bag and baggage at a time assign'd,
To part a towne; his foule vnweildy wife,
Desired him that she might stay behind.
Say, quoth the man, Ile neuer be so kind,
As venture life, for such an vgly hag
That lookes both like a baggage and a bag.
