[Were I a gallant and could maintaine men]

Were I a gallant and could maintaine men
Id'e haue bald-pated laddes t'attend mee then
For men whose pates are bare and bald at topps
Are exlent fitt to keepe Tobacco shoppes
Two thinges vppon a bald crowne on maie doe
That's cutt Tobacco, and well drye-it too
Theire braines are hott: theere sculls as thinn as shell
Lay't on the bald-place it will drye it well.
