Social Commentaries
To the Lady Phanton
From Clarastella (1650), Epigrams, Lib. 2
Social Commentaries
Madam! you wear a feather in your head,
Your face is all Mosaick, coloured
With shining unguents; next your linnen's white,
Your garments too are, as your carriage, light;
Your heel's are cork you walk on: I'l avow't,
That Madam! now y'are light from head to foot.
