Epig. 2. A Contented Citizen called Horne.

Sure thy Progenitors all Cuckolds were,
Why should'st thou grudge, like them the horn to beare?
Remove thy feare, thy wife's a comely Dame,
And doth report thou art so coole and tame,
She in thy body hath not least delight,
Thou not of strength to sate her appetite:
Why dost thou let thy Roomes to Gallants brave
If thou intend'st thy Wife alone to have?
Thy name is ominous, and sure I think,
For money thou, at thy Wives faults dost winke.
