SWETNAM, THE VVoman-hater, ARRAIGNED BY WOMEN.

Vouchsafe to reade, I dare presume to say, Yee shall be pleased; and thinke 'tis a good play.

ACTORVM NOMINA.

NICANOR.

Hee was a vertuous and a hopefull Prince, And we haue iust cause to lament his death, For had he liu'd, and Spaine made war agen, He would ha' prou'd a Terror to his Foe.

Thou Man of Warre, once play the Orator, Proue Griefe a guiltie Thiefe, condemne my feares, And let my sorrowes suffer in these teares: Haue I a sonne or no? Good Souldier speake.

I doted on such Follies, but now I haue left vm, and doe vow to be the euerlasting scourge to all their Sex: What the reason is, Ile tell you, Sir, hereafter: reade but that,

Ile begin with A. and so proceed to the latter end of the Alphabet, comparing his good parts as thus: for A. hee is Amiable, Bountifull, Courteous, Diligent, Eloquent, Faithfull, Gracious, Humble, Iouiall, Kind, Louing, Magnanimous, Noble, Patient, Quiet, Royall, Secret, Trustie, Vigilant, Wittie, and Xceeding Youthfull. Now for Z, he's zealous: so I conclude, pray God hee bee not Iealous.

EPILOGVE.

FINIS.
