As many antique faces passe,
From Barbers chaire vnto his glasse,
There to behold their kinde of trim,
And how they are reform'd by him,
Or at Exchang where Marchants greete,
Confusion of the tongues do meete,
As English, French, Italian, Dutch,
Spanish, and Scot'sh, with diuers such.
So from the Presse these papers come
To show the humorous shapes of some.
Heere are such faces good and bad,
As in a Barbers shop are had,
And heere are tongues of diuers kindes,
According to the speakers mindes.
Beholde their fashions, heare their voice,
And let discretion make thy choice.
Samvell Rowlands.
