Epigram. 4. In Miluum.

Miluus , that art deformed in thy face,
In eu'ry part ill-fashioned by nature,
Beware I wish thee, gaze not in thy glasse,
Looke to thy selfe, but looke not, in the water:
Lest looking in thy glasse, thou'euacuate
From forth thy filthy corps, thy fairer soule,
Or in the water shouldst grow desperate,
And drowne the obiect of thy selfe so fowle:
How farre vnlike to faire Narcissus fate;
He, for selfe-loue, thou, drowning for selfe-hate
