To Syluius, a louely lad but lewdly liued.
In all thy body bewty shines,thy forhed shineth fair:
75
thy glisteryng golden hayre.
But Syluius (as a stinkyng sinke)
thy brest is foule within:
Thy mynd is spotted, spatted, spilt,
thy soule is soyld with sinne.
Ah painted Toomb stuft full of stink:
more lothsum nought we finde
Than he that faire hath all thinges, saue
his manners and his mynd.
