Social Commentaries
To Madam Cr. wearing a lookinglass at her Girdle
From Clarastella (1650), Epigrams, Lib. 2
Social Commentaries
Madam! you look so often on your glass,
I fear you doubt whither or no your face
Be stil your own, or the same yesterday
It was: for colours change or fade away.
Then view no more thy own fair Physnomie!
Because I'd have thee look the more on me.
