17281722with a reede voyce, and turne two minsing steps

17291723into a manly stride; and speake of frayes

17311725how honorable Ladies sought my loue,

17321726which I denying, they fell sicke and dyed.

17331727I could not doe withall: then ile repent,

17341728and wish for all that, that I had not killd them;

17351729And twenty of these punie lies ile tell,

17361730that men shall sweare I haue discontinued schoole
