 | The springs glorie |  |
An Epigramme on an old unhandsome, yet lustfull woman;
who was discovered to weare drawers of black taffata.
The divel's in't: did ever WitchIn mourning cloth her wrinckled breech?
Vnlesse the Incubus were dead
That had her wither'd maydenhead?
Why that part veil'd? the face left free,
That hath no lesse deformitie?
A pox on both, the reason's smelt:
Shee'd have one seene, the other felt.
That neither sense into mislike might grow,
Though she be light, she keepes all darke below.
