Of a maruellous deformed man
From Epitaphes, Epigrams, Songs and Sonets (1567)
Social Commentaries
TO drawe the minde in Table to the sight
Is hard: to paint the lims is counted light:
But now in thée these two are nothing so,
For Nature splayes thy minde to open show.
We sée by proofe of thy vnthriftie déedes,
The couert kinde from whence this filth procéedes.
But who can paint those shapelesse lims of thine,
When eche to vewe thy Carcasse doth repine?
