The hovse of correction | ||
In Lusiam.
Lvsia , who scornes all others imitations,Cannot abide to be out-gone in fashions:
She sayes, she cannot haue a Hat or Ruffe.
A Gowne, a Pettycoate, a Band, or Cuffe,
But that these Citizens (whom she doth hate)
Will get into't, at nere so deare a rate:
But Lusia now doth such a fashion follow,
Whose Hayre is Flax, and Band as Saffron yellow,
That there's no Citizen, what ere she be,
Can be transformed so like an Owle as she.
