Linsi-woolsie | ||
Epig. 13. On the whore in Graine, Helen of Greece.
One staine, we read, did staine thy sunnie face;But thy stain'd life, thy corps did more disgrace.
This one spot did not more, thy sweet face marre,
Then thy lust Ilion did; in Troian warre.
Thinke not therefore it shame to haue a staine:
But count it shame, to be a whore in Graine.
