The Theater of Fine Devices | ||
EMBLEME XVIII.
Within this picture are displaid,
The beauties of a woman stayd.
This picture here doth liuely represent
The beauties of a woman stayd.
The beauties that may best make women proud;
First by the Tortesse at her feete is meant,
She must not gad, but learne at home to shrowd;
Her finger to her lip is vpward bent,
To signifie she should not be too lowd:
The key doth note, she must haue care to guide
The goods her husbād doth with pain prouide.
