VIII. EPIGRAME.

If that the Marques of Saluce
Were liuinge in these dayes
With Grisild, who for pacience once
Did winn so great a prayse,
This Marquess might a meter match
Conforme to his degree,
A grauer Grisild get then his,
More pacient by suche three.
No storme of Fortune may hir sturr,
Nor worldly chaunce hir scarr:
Yet say I not a man should prove
A woman ouer farr.
Finis.
