Social Commentaries
Of the same to the Ladies
From The Most Elegant and Witty Epigrams (1618), Book 2
Social Commentaries
HEr face vnmask't, I saw, her corps vnclad,
No vaile, no couer, her and me betweene:
No ornament was hid, that beauty had,
I blusht that saw, she blusht not tht was seene.
With that I vow'd neuer to care a rush,
For such a beauty, as doth neuer blush.
