Epigram 14: It was my chaunce once in my
From The Sculler (1612)
Social Commentaries
It was my chaunce once in my furious moode,
To call my neighbours wife an arrant who re,
But she most stifly on her credit stood,
Swearing that sory I should be therefo re,
Her husband vnderstanding of the case,
Protested he would sue me for a slander,
When straight I prou'd it to his forked face,
He was a knaue, a cuckold and a Pander.
Oho (quoth he) good neighbor say no mo,
I know my wife lets out her buggle bo.
