2820No state-distinction, for my humble breast

Shall leave all pride with silks, perfumes, and glasses;

And, if with non inventus we return,

I'll Venus' witchcraft hate and Cupid spurn.'

When as the sovereign of the day had drawn

A veil of brightness o'er the twinkling lamps,

And threw on Cynthia's brow a double lawn,

Clearing the welkin from benighting damps,

They in the habits of a milking maid

(All but skin-linen) did their beauties shade.
