XX.

In this worlds youth wise nature did make hast,

Things ripened sooner, and did longer last;

Already this hot cocke, in bush and tree,

In field and tent, oreflutters his next hen;

He asks her not, who did so tast, nor when, 195

Nor if his sister, or his neece shee be;

Nor doth she pule for his inconstancie

If in her sight he change, nor doth refuse

The next that calls; both liberty doe use;

Where store is of both kindes, both kindes may freely chuse. 200
