The second I took for the sake of her purse;
And the third—for what reason? I wanted a nurse.
Paulus Thomas
ON CELSUS
With self love Celsus burns: is he not blest?
For thus without a rival he may rest.
Stephanus Paschasius
MARRIED LIFE
No day, no hour, no moment, is my house
Free from the clamour of my scolding spouse!
My servants all are rogues; and so am I,
Unless, for quiet’s sake, I join the cry.
