Therefore be warned, you misses and you masks,
Look to your hits, nor give the first that asks.
Tears, sighs, and oaths, no truth of passion prove;
True settlement, alone, declares true love.
For him that weds a puss, who kept her first,
I say but little, but I doubt the worst.

{ The wife, that was a cat, may mind her house,
{ And prove an honest, and a careful spouse;
{ But 'faith I would not trust her with a mouse.
