 | Ex otio Negotium |  |
Ad Bassam tribadem Epig. 91.
Cause amongst males thou nere was seen to beNor as unchast no fable feigned thee,
But all thy offices discharged were
By thy own sex, no man intruding there,
I grant thou seem'dst Lucretia to our eye,
But (o mistake!) Bassa th'art out ont, fie.
Two Twatts commit the fact, and dare it can,
Whiles a prodigious lust supplies the man,
Th'hast made a riddle worth the Thebane guile,
Where no man is, adultery bred the while.
