Living
Epigram. 4.
Living
FAire Helen hauing stain'd her husbands bed,
And mortall hatred 'twixt two Kingdomes bred;
Had still remaining in her so much good,
That Heroes for her lost their dearest blood:
Then if with all that ill, such worth may last,
Oh what is she worth, that's as faire, and chast!
