As many antique faces passe, From Barbers chaire unto his glasse, There to beholde their kinde of trim, And how they are reform’d by him, Or at Exchang where Marchants greete, Confusion of the tongues do meete, As English, French, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, and Scot’sh, with divers such. So from the Presse these papers come To show the humorous shapes of some. Heere are such faces good and bad, As in a Barbers shop are had, And heere are tongues of divers kindes, According to the speakers mindes. Beholde their fashions, heare their voice, And let discretion make thy choice. Samuell rowlands. Decorative image Decorative image |
