how_o the_o citizen_n for_o love_n of_o gold_n a_o other_o child_n be_v willing_a for_o to_o father_n whereby_o we_o may_v discern_v the_o servile_a mind_n of_o many_o citizen_n in_o this_o same_o

so_o covetous_a to_o have_v horn_n bud_v that_o to_o allure_v great_a bear_n unto_o their_o honey_n and_o hungry_a dog_n unto_o a_o dirty_a pudding_n they_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o make_v their_o wife_n a_o stale_a to_o draw_v on_o customer_n for_o better_a sale_n and_o unto_o some_o it_o be_v the_o sure_a prop_n to_o have_v a_o handsome_a woman_n keep_v their_o shop_n and_o this_o be_v one_o great_a reason_n i_o suppose_v that_o in_o great_a town_n so_o many_o cuckold_n swarm_v for_o when_o a_o woman_n beauteous_a as_o a_o rose_n sit_v in_o her_o shop_n the_o passenger_n to_o charm_v like_a to_o a_o ship_n in_o tempest_n do_v she_o flir_n in_o danger_n ever_o minute_n to_o be_v split_v and_o though_o she_o do_v escape_v both_o rock_n &_o sand_n yet_o be_v not_o safe_a until_o

who_o smile_n be_v wile_n who_o kind_a look_n do_v kill_v beside_o on_o cruel_a pirate_n she_o may_v light_v and_o be_v encounter_v in_o the_o dark_a of_o night_n and_o though_o a_o while_n she_o fight_v yet_o ten_o to_o one_o some_o camnon_o shoot_v she_o through_o &_o then_o she_o be_v go_v even_o so_o a_o citizen_n that_o set_v his_o wife_n a_o public_a lodestone_n to_o attract_v man_n eye_n do_v unto_o danger_n leave_v her_o honest_a life_n among_o both_o siren_n storm_n and_o piracy_n and_o therefore_o if_o that_o some_o be_v cuckold_n name_v only_o themselves_o i_o think_v be_v to_o be_v blame_v for_o notwithstanding_o all_o their_o shop_n pretence_n they_o be_v the_o bawd_n unto_o their_o wife_n offence_n yea_o some_o of_o they_o as_o though_o this_o be_v too_o little_a to_o hood_v the_o fork_a corner_n of_o their_o head_n although_o they_o know_v their_o wife_n be_v frail_a &_o brittle_a and_o apt_a into_o temptation_n to_o be_v lead_v yet_o unto_o tavern_n

soon_o do_v thief_n allure_v and_o yet_o they_o need_v no_o wind_n to_o blow_v the_o fire_n prick_v for_o they_o be_v hot_a even_o of_o their_o own_o desire_n and_o some_o of_o they_o though_o keep_v with_o key_n &_o lock_n will_v graft_v a_o horne-thorne_n tree_n upon_o your_o stock_n a_o well-conceited_n fiction_n i_o have_v read_v among_o the_o story_n which_o old_a poet_n frame_v of_o one_o that_o have_v within_o his_o careful_a head_n a_o hundred_o eye_n and_o he_o be_v argus_n name_v and_o yet_o for_o all_o his_o eye_n which_o never_o close_v but_o evermore_o to_o watch_v be_v

their_o lust_n to_o satisfy_v how_o boundless_a and_o unsatiate_a be_v their_o mind_n when_o they_o be_v bend_v to_o lawless_a luxury_n how_o brittle_a fickle_a waver_a false_a and_o frail_a like_a
