You laugh now Goodman two shoes, but at what?
My Grove, my Mansion House, or my dun Hat;
Is it for that my loving Chin & Snout
Are met, because my Teeth are fallen out;
Is it at me, or at my RUFF you titter;
Your Grandmother you Rouge nerewore a fitter;
Is it at Forebead's Wrinkle, or Cheek's Furrow,
Or at my Mouth, so like a Coney-Borrough,
Or at those Orient Eyes that nere shed tear,
But when the Excisemen come, that's twice a year.
Kiss Me & tell me true, & when they fail,
Thou shalt have larger Potts & stronger Ale.
David Loggan (c. 1635-1692) (after)
