An epigram published in 1608, and I don't quite know what to think about it:
A Scholer newly entred marriage life, Following his studdie did offend his wife, Because when she his company expected, By bookish busines she was still neglected: Comming vnto his studdy, Lord (quoth she) Can papers cause you loue them more then mee: I would I were transform'd into a Booke That your affection might vpon me looke, But in my wish, withall be it decreed, I would be such a Booke you loue to reede, Husband (quoth she) which books form: should I take, Marry (said hee) were best an Almanacke, The reason wherefore I doe wish thee so, Is, euery yeare wee haue a new you knowe.
