As it is Sathans vsuall pollicie,
He left an issue of like quallitie:
The still memorial if I aime aright,
Is a pale Chequered Hermaphrodite;
Sometimes he iets it like a Gentleman,
Otherwhiles much like a wanton Curtesan:
But truth to tell a man or woman whether,
I cannot say shees excellent in ether.
But if report may certifie a truth
Shees nether of ether, but a Cheating youth.
Yet Troynouant that all admired towne,
Where thousands still do trauell vp and downe,
Of Bewties counterfets affords not one,
So like a louely smiling parragon,
As is Pyander in a Nymphes attire,
Whose rowling eye sets gazers harts on fire:
Whose cherry lip, black brow & smiles procure
Lust burning buzzards to the tempting lure.
What shall I cloake sin with a coward feare,
And suffer not Pyanders sin appeare?
