Id. Lib. II. Ep. 103.
In Lydiam.
He did not lye, that said, thy Skin was fair,But not thy Face; so one, and th' other are.
Thy Face, if thou sit'st mute, and hold'st thy peace
Even as in one Embost, or Painted is.
569

Take heed the Ædile thee, nor hear, nor see,
As oft as Statues speak 'tis a Prodigie.
