I have had itt four-and-forty yeare.

Sometime it was of cloth in graine,

’Tis now but a sigh clout as you may see

It will neither hold nor winde nor raine—

And Ile have a new cloake about mee.

She. It is four-and-forty yeeres agoe

Since the one of us the other did ken,

And we have had betwixt us towe

Of children either nine or ten;

We have brought them up to women and men,
