It[em], noe Plush or satten sleeke, I vow,
May be compard unto her velvet brow.
It[em], her eyes--two buttons made of iett;
Her lipps gumd taffety that will not frett;
Her cheeks are changeable, as I suppose,--
Carnation and white, lyllie and rose_.
_Grimes_. I, there it goes.
_Bon_. I protest I comend him; he goes through stitch with her like
the Master of his trade.
_Lov_. _It[em] her brests two bottomes[59] be of thred,
By which love to his laborinth is led.
Her belly_--
_Grimes_. I, marry, sir, now he comes to the purpose.
_Lov_. _Her Belly a soft Cushion where no sinner
But her true love must dare stick a pin in her_.
_Grimes_. That line has got the prick and prayse from all the rest.
_Lov_. _Butt to that stuff of stuffs, that without scoff
Is Camills haire or else stand further off_.
