ANOTHER UPON HIS KINSWOMAN, MRS. PENELOPE WHEELER, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: First, for your shape, the curious cannot shew
Last Line: A mighty strife 'twixt forme and chastitie.


First, for your shape, the curious cannot shew
Any one part that's dissonant in you:
And 'gainst your chast behaviour there's no Plea,
Since you are knowne to be Penelope.
Thus faire and cleane you are, although there be
A mighty strife 'twixt Forme and Chastitie.
