The Cynnycks discription of the manner of womens gossypping.

As at our meate we satt twas hard to knowe
Whether our teeth or tongues, did fastest goe.

At tables vpper end in cheifest place
Satt maddam, Will, in reeling drunken case
Light in atire shee was, shees womens god
They hir true subiects be: but she'es mans rodd
Nothing by Will, at anie tyme is saide
But is by wiues, and widdowes still obayd.
