In Ciprum. 22.
The fine youth Ciprius is more tierse and neate,Than the new garden of the Old Temple is;
And still the newest fashion he doth get,
And with the time doth change from that to this;
He weares a hat of the flat-crowne block,
The treble ruffes, long cloake, and doublet French;
He takes tobacco, and doth weare a lock,
And wastes more time in dressing than a wench:
Yet this new fangled youth, made for these times,
Doth aboue all praise old George Gascoine's rimes?
