Social Commentaries
Of cursing Cuckolds
From The Most Elegant and Witty Epigrams (1618), Book 4
Social Commentaries
A Lord that talked late in way of scorne,
Of some that ware inuisibly the horne,
Said he could wish, and did (as for his part)
All Cuckolds in the Thames, with all his heart.
But straight a pleasant Knight reply'd to him,
I hope your Lordship learned hath to swimme.
