Reasons for and against Marrying Widows

Pro.

Fears any one his bride lest she a virgin be not,
Or what he would, I know not;
Let him a widow choose, and let the spinsters tarry,
Ere in such doubts he marry.

Con.

To wed a widow, is it not to marry trouble,
And woe with woe to double?
But be this so or not, who can take water down him
Another had to drown in?
