113.SN4.001  Like one who in hir third widdowehood doth professe
113.SN4.002  Hir=selfe a Nun, tyr'd[sic] to retyrednesse,
113.SN4.003  Soe affectes my Muse nowe a Chaste fallowenesse.
113.SN4.004  Since shee to fewe, yet to too many hath showne,
113.SN4.005  Howe Loue=songe weedes, and Satirique thornes are growne,
