Chapter LXX: Sir Philip Sidney thus translates this poem
Text size
Unto no body my woman saith shee had rather a wife be,
Then to myself, not though Jove grew a suter of hers.
These be her words, but a woman's words to a love that is eager,
Midde [windes?] or waters stream do require to be writ.
XCIX. 10.
_Fricatrice._
To a lewd harlot, a base fricatrice.
BEN JONSON, _The Fox_, iv. 2.
