Good housewives now may say,
For now foul sluts in dairies
Do fare as well as they.

Thy father's fortunes, and his places.
I wish thee friends, and one at Court,
Not to build on, but support;
To keep thee, not in doing many
Oppressions, but from suffering any.

Were of the old profession;
Their songs were Ave Marys,
Their dances were procession.
