57. On a French Knight, and Mistris Wolsley.
A wanton Knight, borne, wed, and curst in France,Came to our English Court, and there by chance
Wooes, and re-weds a faire and vertuous Maid:
Which wrong of love being by time bewray'd,
He (lest his Weddings Destiny should turne
To Hanging) leaves his second choice to mourne:
Who Wife, nor Widow, Maid nor Whore doth prove.
What is she then? a Quintessence in love.
