TO POSTHUMUS
[From Martial,] Lib. 2. Ep. 12.
That thou dost Cashoo breath, and Foreign Gums,Enough to put thy Mistress into Fits;
Tho' Rome thy Hair, and Spain thy Gloves perfumes,
Few like, but all suspect, those borrow'd Sweets:
The Gifts of various Nature come and go,
He that smells always, well does never so.
