Of Crispus and His Formall Beard
C RISPUS doth spend his time in labour sore
To bring his beard in fashion if he could:
Quils, irons and instruments he hath good store,
To fashion it and make it fashion hold
But all his other parts he quite neglects,
Of minde and body (fowly out of frame):
For sith in's beard, bye all his soule's affects,
With all the bodye's glory, grace and fame,
There is great reason he should still controle
That wayward part that onely makes the whole.
