Из Роберта Геррика. Эпиграммы. На Грида

326. Upon Greedy. Epig.

An old, old widow Greedy needs wo'd wed,

Not for affection to her, or her Bed;

But in regard, 'twas often said, this old

Woman wo'd bring him more then co'd be told,

He tooke her; now the jest in this appeares,

So old she was, that none co'd tell her yeares.
