Social Commentaries
A wife you wisht me (sir) rich, faire and young
with French, Italian, and the Spanish tongue:
I must confesse yor kindnesse verie much
but yet in truth, Sir, I deserve none such,
for when I wed--as yet I meane to tarry--
A woman of one language i'le but marry,
and with that little portion of her store,
expect such plenty, I would wish no more.
