. . Most puissaunt creatures of the Earth, Woemen, " and " to the 'senceless' Censurer, " the argument of which I will briefly outline. Alexander the Great comes in disguise from his court to ask Diogines why he is for ever a recluse, and never seen in the busy haunts of men. Diogines replies that courts and courtiers are not to his taste : he is no wine-bibbing, gluttonous sycophant, but an honest man. Alexander contends that such disdain comes but of lack of travel and want of knowledge of th...e world. " Not so : all sorts and kinds of men and women, " says Diogines, has he seen. " But, " quoth Alexander, " does not Diogines at least care for the delights that come of women?" at court he may " take viewe of ladies trymm. " All in vain Alexander pleads ; for, says the recluse, " all woemen I haue scene ; all are wanton, all are badd, " and he would " rather dwell A thousand tymes, a single man in hell" than married be; it "galls his gutts" a woman's tongue to hear. Alexander retorts : — INTRODUCTION XV " Oh harsh-sowre, crabby Cynnick, still I see, To gentle creatures thou wilt stubborne bee : If with a girle- th'ast ncuer slept a night, Thy soule hath ncuer tasted sweet deHght, , (a Virgins grace), Which tripps lavaltoes in each maydens face, When men's fowle tongues o're-flowes with ribalderj', Should make thee loue maidens, for their modestie.
