"When we were maids (quoth one of them)

Was no such new found pride:

Then wore they shooes of ease, now of

An inch-broad, corked hye:

Black karsie stockings, worsted now,

Yea silke of youthful'st dye:

Garters of lystes, but now of silke,

Some edged deep with gold:

With costlier toyes, for courser turns,

Than us'd, perhaps of old.
