XII. The Maide.

I marriage would forsweare, but that I heare men tell,
that shee that dyes a mayde must lead an Ape in hell,
Therefore if fortune come I will not mocke and play,
nor driue the bargaine on, till it be driuen away,
Titles and lands I like, yet rather fancy can,
A man that wanteth gould, then gould that wants a man.
Here endeth the twelue Wonders of the world.
