From Chrestoleros (1598), Book 5
Social Commentaries
You which haue sorrows hiddē bottom sounded,
And felt the ground of teares and bitter mon
You may conceiue how Gilloes heart is wounded,
And iudge of his deepe feeling by your owne.
His toothlesse wife then she was left for dead.
When graue and all was made, recouered.
