[What Beautie's This, so brave bedeckt in Riches?]
What Beautie's This, so brave bedeckt in Riches?Whose wanton Looks, whose waving Locks and Song,
As with a Dart, a Chain, a Charm (too-strong)
Self-blindes, self-bindes, and self it self bewitches?
O! 'tis the World t'a Courtisan transformed,
VVho pranks and paints her Body round about:
But all this Beauty onely is without,
And cannot hide the Soule, within, deformed.
