THE XII. WONDERS
OF THE WORLD



John Maynard

1611

 

VIII. The Batchelar

       How many things as yet are deare alike to mee ?
       The field, the horse, the dog, Loue, Armes, or liberty.
       I haue no Wife as yet, which I may call my owne,
       I haue no children yet that by my name are knowne,
       Yet if I marryed were, I would not wish to thriue,
       If that I could not tame, the veriest shrew aliue.
      

Sir John Davies
