XLVI. — TO SIR LUCKLESS WOO-ALL.   

Is this the sir, who, some waste wife to win,
A knight-hood bought, to go a wooing in?
'Tis LUCKLESS, he that took up one on band
To pay at's day of marriage. By my hand
The knight-wright's cheated then !  he'll never pay :
Yes, now he wears his knighthood every day.
