| The Dub'd Knight / Of the Forked Order. / OR, / The old wanton Lady as I will recite, / And Sen John the Serving-Man her hearts delight, / Their doings and actions, If you will attend, / In Meeter, they are by a Poet Pen'd. / The subtilty of women either old or young, / And what cunning excuses they have with their tongue. / That will play with their Husbands and laugh them to scorn, / Stroke up there brows, and there place a horn. | |
