On Howdee
From Clarastella (1650), Epigrams, Lib. 1
Social Commentaries
When at the Court a fashions quite wore out,
And come to Longlane walks the town about,
Then doth my Ladies Howdee get intoi't,
And thinks him gallant in this new old suite:
No matter Howdee, thour't in fashion yet,
For though a great way off, thou follow'st it.
