On Mrs. Howlet, and Mrs. Boone.
From The Muses Melody in a Consort of Poetrie ([1680?])
Social Commentaries
FIckle (they say) loves Howlets daughter, she
That is his eldest, Mistris Margery:
And some suppose the wddow Boon will draw
All his Affection, (Mistress Barbara)
But will not he appear a gross Buffoon
To marry with Madg Howlet, or Bab Boone?
