That all she sought, was mens good name to haue bereaued.
For what soeuer good by any sayd, xxxiv
Or doen she heard, she would streightwayes inuent,
How to depraue, or slaunderously[395] vpbrayd,
Or to misconstrue of a mans intent,
And turne to ill the thing, that well was ment.
Therefore she vsed often to resort,
To common haunts, and companies frequent,
To hearke what any one did good report,
To blot the same with blame, or wrest in wicked sort.
