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.
