Classic Poem

Of hot Seruice.

E PIG . 197.

The fire by nature doth aleviate,
And so light women are as hot as light;
Who flame outrageously in lust, or hate,
Which burnes so long till they be wasted quite:
Then are they light in corpes and quality,
Which double lightnesse makes them like the flame
That burneth all it toucheth, or comes nie;
So burne they all in earnest and in game.
In these flames are to Sathan sacrific'd
The seemely bodies of vnseemely soules:
Thus burnt they till they so bee subtilliz'd
That not one haire can sticke vpon their powles:
 And then their hairlesse scalpes (like dead mens skulls)
 Barely affirme they were vntrimm'd by trulls.
