VIII. The Batchelar.

How many things as yet are deare alike to mee?
The field, the horse, the Dog, Loue, Armes, or liberty.
I haue no Wife as yet, which I may call mine owne,
I haue no children yet that by my name are knowne,
Yet if I marryed were, I would not wish to thriue,
if that I could not tame, the veriest shrew aliue.
