A wily wench there was (as I have read)
Who us’d to capricorn her husband’s head.

I'd rather die Maid, and lead apes in Hell
Than wed an inmate of Silenus' Cell.

The English Gentelman and Gentelwoman (1640)

I came to Gotham, where I saw many who were fools, if not all.

To Banbury came I, O profane one!
Where I saw a Puritane-one
Hanging of his cat on Monday,
For killing of a mouse on Sunday.
