To Fidentinus.
Thou
deemst thou art a Poet fine,
And wouldst be thought so Fidentine,
By bookes, and Epigrams of myne.
And wouldst be thought so Fidentine,
By bookes, and Epigrams of myne.
So Ægle of her self is thought,
To be wel toothed, though stark nought,
Hauyng of horne & bone teeth bought.
To be wel toothed, though stark nought,
Hauyng of horne & bone teeth bought.

So to herself Lycoris she,
Doeth seme of beautie braue to bee,
Because her cheekes men painted see.
Doeth seme of beautie braue to bee,
Because her cheekes men painted see.
So thus as you a Poet are:
You maie be busht, when you are bare.
You maie be busht, when you are bare.
