[How kinde goodwill, did loue requite]
How kinde goodwill, did loue requite,
Betweene a Cuckold, and a Knight.
Betweene a Cuckold, and a Knight.
A Knight of Cupids Court (with Lust being led)
Got kindely with his neighbours VVife to bed,
And by Veneriall sport heated (I thinke)
Most impudently call'd the Maid for drinke.
VVhich when it came, did proue exceeding small:
But thus Sir Tarquin made amends for all:
The frugall Cuckold for his humor salt,
Out of the Knight got forty seames of Malt.
VVhich had, he said, Sir, least I dye your debter,
Pray' come and taste if now my Beene be better.
If you mislike, before that we doe spend it,
I hope your VVorship once againe will mend it.
