To an olde Gentlewoman, that painted hir face.
Leaue off good Beroe nowto sleeke thy shriuled skin,
For Hecubes face will neuer be,
as Helens hue hath bin.
Let Beautie go with youth,
renownce the glosing Glasse,
Take Booke in hand: that seemely Rose
is woxen withred Grasse.
Remooue thy Pecocks plumes
thou cranck and curious Dame:
[illeg.] other Trulls of tender yeares
resigne the flagge of Fame.
