Beware faire Maides of Musky Courtiers oathes.

The Second Booke of Ayres (1612)

Your selfe, your Virgin girdle would divide,
And put aside the Maiden vaile that hides
The chiefest Jemme of Nature.

The Second Booke of Ayres (1612)

That dance about with bobtaile Apes in hell,
You’d breake your oath, and for a world of gaine,
From Hymens pleasing sports no more abstaine.
