Epig. 9 In Eripham vetulam.
Eripha that old trot euery dayWafts o're the water for to see a play,
And there a withered ore-worne face she shows
Beset with Rubies, and stopt full of Oos.
This water-witch a patch hath for th' rheume,
Her carkas she with Aloes doth perfume;
With muske, ciuit, olibane, myrrh, incense,
Breathing out an aromaticke redolence:
Her soulenesse makes me oft mine eies vp close,
Her sweetnes makes me wish I were all Nose.
