Against women either good or badde.
A man
may liue thrise Nestors life,
Thrise wander out Ulisses race:
Yet neuer finde Ulisses wife.
Such chaunge hath chanced in this case.
Thrise wander out Ulisses race:
Such chaunge hath chanced in this case.
Lesse age will serue than Paris had,
Small peyn (if none be small inough)
To finde good store of Helenes trade.
Such sap the rote dothe yelde the bough.

Such sap the rote dothe yelde the bough.
For one good wife Ulisses slew
A worthy knot of gentle blood:
For one yll wife Grece ouerthrew
The towne of Troy. Sith bad and good
Bring mischiefe: Lord, let be thy will,
To kepe me free from either yll.
