52 The Affectionate Shepheard.

modest Dames, inricht with Chastitie,

Maske your bright eyes with Vestaes sable vaile,

Since few are left so faire or chast as shee;

(Matter for me to weepe, you to bewaile):

For manie seeming so, of Vertue faile;

Whose louely Cheeks (with rare vermilion tainted)

Can neuer blush because their faire is painted.
