To answer is no easy task:

For she has really two ages.

Stiff in brocade, and pinch’d in stays,

Her patches, paint and jewels on;

All day let envy view her face,

And Phillis is but twenty-one.

Paint, patches, jewels laid aside,

At night astronomers agree,

The evening has the day belied;

And Phillis is some forty-three.
