RIDDLE.
Whats that a faire Lady most of all likes,Yet ever makes shew she least of all seeks:
Thats ever embrac'd, and affected by her,
Yet is never seen to please, or come nigh her:
But a poor mans thing, yet doth richly adorn her,
Most serv'd in her night-weeds, does her good in a corner:
Most cheap, and most deare, above all worldly pelfe,
Is hard to get in, but comes out of it selfe.
