Quote #7
Zan. Alas! poor maids get more lovers than husbands… (5.1)
Zanche is poignantly complaining about how men just want to sleep with her but won't actually marry her because of her poverty and servitude.
Quote #8
Flam. …O men,
That lie upon your death-beds, and are haunted
With howling wives! ne'er trust them; they 'll re-marry
Ere the worm pierce your winding-sheet, ere the spider
Make a thin curtain for your epitaphs. (5.6)
Flamineo claims (in a fairly sexist way) that women are fickle—they'll weep over a man's corpse and find a new lover before his corpse can even start to rot. This seems to be related to Flamineo's suspicion of female sexual desires, which he sees as uncontrollable and untrustworthy.
