Epigram. 28. Videntur & non sunt.

Some men go braue and some againe go bare
When neither of them seeme the men they are,
I know rich lads go patcht in leather pelts,
And hood their heads vnder some greasy felts:
Againe I know some silke lads, coinelesse euer,
Beare high their heads in some fresh colour'd Beuer,
And siluer-shooe-strings ore their toes do weare
Such shooe-strings as a man may safely sweare
Are better then their purse-strings, ten to one,
For they can show some siluer, these can none.
