On Mounsieur Congee
From Clarastella (1650), Epigrams, Lib. 2
Social Commentaries
A Proper handsome courtly man indeed,
And wel set out with cloaths, can for a need
Discourse with legs, and quarter congies, and
Talk half an howr with help of foot and hand.
But when I viewd this Mounsieur clean throughout
I found that he was only man without.
