Social Commentaries
On Iezabell, to Ladies
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book II
Social Commentaries
How far'd proud Iezabell, whole dayes that spent
In pruning, painting, courting of her glasse?
Was not her flesh t'an odious excrement
Concocted, and ejected on the grasse?
Ladies, such faults wipe off, as did at end
This Queene of Pride, and dogg'd her to her end.
