Satire 32.
[Steltus? Fallatus makes good vse of thee]
Steltus? Fallatus makes good vse of thee:Thou art his looking-glasse: be rul'd by me,
Thy looking-glasse (Stelltus) make thou of him,
Then both of you will drest be neate and trimm.
Looking on thee: (and further 'twill his marriadge)
He prunes out pride, & foole-bredd stately carriadge.
And shaues from's lipps (a thing betokening witt)
The stairing haires of a bould parrasitt,
Now looke in him, & thou shalt see it plaine,
That dronkennesse is one ath' foulest staine.
And see in him how haggedly & leane,
A man is made which vseth much a queane.
Looke in him man; for this beleeu't that he
Has bettr'd bene by looking into thee.
