 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 35. Against Marcus his fire-worke.
Marcus his Wifes great modesty doth hate;And sweares hee loues the impudence of Kate:
For, to a lustfull humor, modestie
Is nothing but a cooling card, saith hee;
Well, Marcus, if such Coolers thou dost loth,
Thy Kate, perhaps, will coole, and burne thee both.
