Epigram 6. To his friend Mr Thomas Beedom, of single life.
Happy is hee that leads a single life,He's not perplexed with the daily strife
Of cupled bondage, nor can tortur'd bee
With Hymens ague, the disparity
Of minde which bodies joynd, neither doth know
What hell it is, halfe of himselfe to owe
Unto a wife: thus happi's hee alone,
Can tell himselfe that hee is all his owne.
Em. D.
