Epig. XV. In Lasconem.

Hot-liue'rd Lasco with loues longing itches,
But what's the cause since he both yong and rich is,
That whom he woes, he wines not? I doe smell it,
And Lasco be not angrie if I tell it,
Thy face well featur'd is, so is thy nose
Though somewhat crimson, which thou dost suppose
With Campher dayly daubing to amend;
But know this drug was neuer louers friend
Then, when to maids or widdowes thou art going
Leaue it, the smell of it doth spoile thy woing.
