To Sir Luckless Woo-all
From Epigrams (1616)
Relationships
Is this the sir, who, some waste wife to win,
A knight-hood bought, to go a wooing in?
'Tis Luckless, he that took up one on band
To pay at's day of marriage. By my hand
The knight-wright's cheated then! he'll never pay:
Yes, now he wears his knighthood every day.
