Love
Of the straunge countenaunce of an aged Gentlewoman
From Epitaphes, Epigrams, Songs and Sonets (1567)
Love
JT makes me laugh a good to sée thée lowre,
and long to looken sad:
For when thy crabbed countnance is so sowre,
thou art to séeming glad.
I blame not thée but nature in his case,
That might bestowde on thee a better grace.
