Thomas Urquhart (Томас Эркарт)


Epigrams. The First Booke. № 41. Concerning those, who marry for beauty, and wealth without regard of vertue


HOw can such wedded people lead their lives,
With a respect unfainedly entire,
Where husbands are not married to their wives:
But money to the covetous desire:
Where men in little estimation hold
Womens discretion, wit, and chastitie:
But meerely aime at handsomnesse, and gold,
To serve their avarice, and Leacherie:
Which fashion lately is become so common,
That first, w'espouse the money: then, the woman.
