UNFAITHFUL VS FAITHFUL

"Go catch a falling star ... nowhere lives a woman true and fair ... yet she will be false, ere I come, to two, or three"
Woman's Constancy: The metre suggest fickleness of love "now thou hast loved me one whole day", women are not able to remain faithful

The Good Morrow: "Watch not one another out of fear", both can't be trusted. Unaffected by the "rags of time"
