From The Nipping and Snipping of Abuses (1614)
Social Commentaries
Fine Rarnell wonderfully likes her choyce
In hauing got a husband so compleat,
Whose shape and minde doth wholy her reioyce:
At bed, board, and abroad, he's alwaies neate:
Neate can he talke, and feed, and neatly tread,
Neate are his feete, but most neat is his head.
