Epigram 25 (He which put on a false vpon thy ...)
From Chrestoleros (1598), Book 1
Social Commentaries
He which put on a false vpon thy face,
Hath done that ill, which was done well before,
Thus he hath put thy picture in thy place,
Making thee like thy selfe, thy selfe no more.
Depriude of liuing comlinesse and feature,
Fye on thee art, thou com'st to neere to nature.
