Th' opposers of Priests' marriage by the fruit.

And (since 'tis known for all their straight vow'd life,

They like the sex in any style but wife)

Cause them to change their cloister for that state

30Which keeps men chaste by vows legitimate:

Nor shame to father their relations,

Or under nephews' names disguise their sons.

This child of yours, born without spurious blot,

And fairly midwiv'd as it was begot,

Doth so much of the parent's goodness wear,
