IN KATAM.2 VIII.

  • Kate, being pleas'd, wish'd that her pleasure could
  • Endure as long as a buff-jerkin would.
  • Content thee, Kate; although thy pleasure wasteth,
  • Thy pleasure's place like a buff-jerkin lasteth,
  • For no buff-jerkin hath been oftener worn,
  • Nor hath more scrapings or more dressings borne
