 | Ex otio Negotium |  |
In Bassum, Epig. 99.
When thou awife so youthful hast,So rich, so noble, wise, and chast,
That the most wicked Goat that is
A better cannot wish for his.
Thou spendst thy strength with Boyes (we see)
Which thy wife's dowry bought for thee,
So to his Mistris thy Prick comes
Tyred, thus redeemed with mighty summs.
124
The voyce's or thumbs flattery.
Blush then, or let the Law unfold it,
(Bassus) this is not thine, th'hast sold it.
