IN KATUM.[28] 8.

Kate being pleas'd wisht that her pleasure could

Indure as long as a buffe-jerkin would:

Content thee, Kate; although thy pleasure wasteth,

Thy pleasure's place like a buffe-jerkin lasteth,

For no buffe-jerkin hath beene oftner worne,

Nor hath more scrapings or more dressings borne.

[Footnote 28: Mr. Dyce reads 'Katam': being feminine the poet is here

put right. G.]
