Epig. XVIII. In Critticum.

Some Crittick in a spleene, himselfe farre prouder
Will aske, why Gentlewomen with sweet pouder
Sprinkle their haire; but pray, let me alone,
Ile answere him, this haire not being their owne,
But combings bought, might peraduenture be
Of some vnholesome head, thus then you see,
Why women vse this odoriferous dust;
Let Critticks then be dumbe, their cause is iust.
