XII. Upon over-much Niceness.
'Tis much to see how over-Nice some are,
About the Body and Houshold Affair:
While what's of Worth, they slightly pass it by,
Not doing, or doing it slovenly.
Their house must be well furnisht, be in print;
Mean while their Soul lies ley, has no good in't.
Its outside also they must beautifie,
When in it there's scarce common Honesty.

Mean while their Soul lies ley, has no good in't.
Its outside also they must beautifie,
When in it there's scarce common Honesty.
Their Bodies they must have trick'd up, and trim;
Their inside full of Filth up to the brim.
Upon their cloths there must not be a spot,
But is their lives more then one common Blot?
Their inside full of Filth up to the brim.
Upon their cloths there must not be a spot,
But is their lives more then one common Blot?
How nice, how coy are some about their Diet,
That can their crying Souls with Hogs-meat quiet.
All drest must to an hair be, else 'tis naught,
While of the living bread they have no thought.
Thus for their Outside they are clean and nice,
While their poor Inside stinks with sin and vice.

While of the living bread they have no thought.
Thus for their Outside they are clean and nice,
While their poor Inside stinks with sin and vice.
