| The Dubd 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 Pend, / 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 their brows, and there place a horn. | |
