The Postscript,
To the precedent Poem.
But stay my whiteing, though I took thy part,'Twas not to shew thy beauty, but my art.
My conscience tells mee Red & white best pleases,
VVhite not set off with Red portends diseases:
But Poets pro, and con, salute and slight:
Tell yee the Dove is black, And the Crow white,
I could have writ as much, and given a grace
As ample, to the Calfe with the white face.
Thus have I made thee faire and fowle; so truely
Starch be it nere so white, comes of but blewly.
