by John Taylor 1580–1653

From The Nipping and Snipping of Abuses (1614)

Social Commentaries

Inconstant Constants albewitching feature,
Hath made faire Constance an inconstant Creature,
Her Godmother was very much to blame,
To giue Inconstancy a constant name.
But was a woman nam'de her so contrary,
And womens tongues and hearts doe euer varie.
