Epigram 15 (Castor at euery fashions new disguise,)
From Chrestoleros (1598), Book 5
Castor at euery fashions new disguise,
Is mou'de to speake, (the cause doth so require.
And vanity doth so offend his eyes)
How men like monsters wander in attyre.
But the same fashions which he so did scoffe,
Long after like repentance he doth weare.
After the brauer sorte haue cast them off.
Like fashions counting booke, or regesture.
Or like an Epitaph, which still doth cry.
Loa here the ende of all our brauerie.
