JANE SHORE. |

The which now since my dying day,
Is Shoreditch call'd, as writers say;
Which is a witness of my sin, im
For being concubine to a king.
You wanton wives, that fall to lust,
Be you assur'd that God is just;
Whoredom shall not escape his hand,
Nor pride unpunish'd in this land. m
If God to me such shame did bring, That yielded only to a king, How shall they scape that daily run To practise sin with every man ?
You husbands, match not but for love, i«
Lest some disliking after prove;
Women, be warn'd when you are wives,
What plagues are due to sinful lives:
Then, maids and wives, in time amend, For love and beauty will have end. |
