Poems &c. By James Shirley | ||
One that loved none but deformed Women.
What should my Mistris do with hair?
Her frizling, curling I can spare;
But let her forehead be well plough'd,
And Hempe within the furrowes sow'd.
Her frizling, curling I can spare;
But let her forehead be well plough'd,
And Hempe within the furrowes sow'd.
No dressing should conceal her ear,
Which I would have at length appear,
At which should hang with a device,
The wealthy pearls of both her eyes.
Which I would have at length appear,
At which should hang with a device,
The wealthy pearls of both her eyes.
And such a Nose I would desire
Should represent the Town a fire;
Cheeks black, and swelling like the south,
No tongue, nor mark within her mouth.
Should represent the Town a fire;
Cheeks black, and swelling like the south,
No tongue, nor mark within her mouth.

Oh give me such a face.
Such a grace,
No two should have sport,
Or in wedlock better agree:
The divel should into the bawdy Court
If he durst but Cuckold me.
