Thomas against the Women doth contend, But John most stoutly doth their cause defend; Young and old read these lines that ensue, You'l all confess that what I write is true, I know no reason but that without dispute This may as well be printed as sung to a Lute. To a gallant delightful new Tune, well known among Musitioners, and in Play-houses: Called _Women and Wine_. _Thomas_ Some Women are like to the Wine, [71.] like the Sea, and like the Rocks, But they that proves them soon may find 'em like the Wine and Weathercocks. _But if you'l believe me_, _i'le tell you true_ _What light Women are likeunto_, _Wine, Women and Wine_, _thus you may compare them too_. _John_ Women most Constant Men doth find, not like the Sea, but like the Rocks, They are evermore loving and kind, not like the Wine and Weather Cocks _But if &c_ _Thomas_ Women have hooks, and women have crooks, so hath the Wine, so hath the Wine, Which draws great Lawyers from their books more than the Wine, more than the Wine. _But if &c_ _John_ Women have beauty and fair looks, So hath the Wine, so hath the Wine, Far surpassing the Lawyers books more than the Wine, more than the Wine. _But if you'l believe me_ _i'le tell you true_ _What good Women are like unto_, _Wine, Wine, Women and Wine_, _thus may you compare them too_.
