Epigram. 42. In Elizabetham.

Besse doth Actionize her husbands Crowne,
And trimming his head proues she trimmes her owne,
And yet her head is still attir'd but badly,
Besse, once, quoth I, I would the reason gladly,
Mine owne (quoth she) do you not that descry,
My Husbands mine, and that same head trimme I.
