Epig. 10 In Steronem Legislatorem.
Nor do I praise thy heart thats ill intending,Nor yet thy mouth thats foolish and a lier,
Nor yet thine eies, thei're purblind stil offending,
Nor thy false tong, that is a burning fier,
Nor hands, for hands take oft more than their fees
Nor arms, nor legs, nor brest, nor back, nor knees
And I will praise, thy haire, thy beard, thy nailes.
