Yet Other Twelve Wonders of the World: The Widdow
From Complete Poems, ed. Grosart (1876)
Social Commentaries
My dying husband knew, how much his death would grieue me,
And therefore left me wealth, to comfort and relieue me.
Though I no more will haue, I must not loue disdaine,
Penelope her selfe did sutors entertaine;
And yet to draw on such, as are of best esteeme,
Nor yonger then I am, nor richer will I seeme.
