Social Commentaries
In Aulam
From A Poetical Rhapsody (1602), ed. A. H. Bullen (1890–91)
Social Commentaries
Her sons rich Aula terms her lechers all,
Whom other dames, loves, friends, and servants call.
And sure methinks her wit
Gives them a name more fit;
For if all mothers them their sons do call,
Whom they have only borne nine months in all;
May she not call them sons with better reason.
Whom she hath borne nine times as long a season?
