Satire 16.

[VVhen Seelas Taylor measure came to take]

VVhen Seelas Taylor measure came to take,
Of hir smale bodie, bodies new to make

They disagreed (yet time did giue them leasure)
How shee should stand, when hee should take hir measure
Hee'd haue hir vp-right stand, or else hee should
Ne're fitt hir bodie with a perfect moulde,
But shee not likeing it, made this replie,
I'le haue my bodie measur'd as I lie.
And full of bones I'de haue my bodies bee,
The bones sticht in, and quilted well quoth shee.
Now if thou think'st my bodies thou canst fitt,
I prethee honest Tayle-hir measure it.
The man mistakeing still hir meaning quite
Lyes on hir more, to haue hir stande vp-right.
But shee (hoping to beat it in his braine)
The second time replies to him againe.
Tayler quoth shee, I'me sure that I shall finde
Bodies made like thine fitting'st to my minde,
Noe other measure for my bodie take,
But by thy bodie, my newe bodies make.
Alas quoth hee those bodies ne're will fitt.
Ah Asse quoth shee, that Noddies had but witt
Then might my bodie, bodies haue right good,
And easlye I might haue been vnderstood.
'Waie hence (quoth shee) thou art some botching Noddy,
That canst not measure right a womans bodie.
