Against powdered Haire. Epigram. 265.
THe Daies of old did Ashes vse to throw
(In signe of meekenesse) on the hūbled Head:
But now, in signe of Pride (in Heart, and Shew)
Our Mad-dames cast sweet-powder in their stead:
But they whose Tops are euer powder'd so,
Their T—(most commonly)are Pickel'd too,
