Of Galla's goodly Petiwigge
From The Most Elegant and Witty Epigrams (1618), Book 2
Social Commentaries
YOu see the goodly hayre that Galla weares,
'Tis certain her own hair, who would haue
She sweares it is her owne: and true she sweares:
For hard by Temple-barre last day she bought it.
So faire a haire, vpon so foule a forehead,
Augments disgrace, and showes the grace is borrowed
