That in all the worlde is not the like minion.[486] 30

He thinketh eche woman to be brought in dotage

With the onely sight of his goodly personage:

Yet none that will have hym: we do hym loute and flocke,[487]

And make him among us, our common sporting stocke,

And so would I now (ko she) save onely bicause, 35

Better nay (ko I) I lust not medle with dawes.

Ye are happy (ko I) that ye are a woman,

This would cost you your life in case ye were a man.

R. Royster. Yea an hundred thousand pound should not save hir life.
