Epigram 35. Not so strange as true.

The stately Stag when he his hornes hath shed,
In sullen sadnesse he deplores his losse:
But when a wife cornutes her husbands head,
His gaines in hornes he holds an extreme Crosse:
The Stag by losing doth his losse complaine,
The man by gaining doth lament his gaine.
Thus whether hornes be either lost or found,
They both the loser and the winner wound.
