381
[Lvce beares Fire in th'on hand and Water in th'other.]
Lvce beares Fire in th'on hand and Water in th'other.But in her Chaffendish beares both together.
Shee's Ambodexter, with both hands shee playes:
But yet with both leggs she workes nights and dayes.
Shee's woone with an Apple, and lost with an Nuts:
Her Bumme is no Bilbo, and yet it will cutt
As keene as a Razer, that shaues away all,
And ner'e vse sweete-vvater, nor yet Barbers Ball.
