Marry, and love thy Flavia, for, she 
Hath all things, whereby others beauteous bee, 
For, though her eyes be small, her mouth is great, 
Though they be Ivory, yet her teeth be jeat, 
Though they be dimme, yet she is light enough, 
And though her harsh haire fall, her skinne is rough, 
What though her cheeks be yellow, her haire's red, 
Give her thine, and she hath a maydenhead. 
These things are beauties elements, where these 
Meet in one, that one must, as perfect, please. 
If red and white and each good quality 
Be in thy wench, ne'r aske where it doth lye. 
In buying things perfum' d, we aske; if there 
Be muske and amber in it, but not where. 
Though all her parts be not in th' usuall place, 
She'hath yet an Anagram of a good face. 
If we might put the letters but one way, 
In the leane dearth of words, what could we say? 
When by the Gamut some Musitians make 
A perfect song, others will undertake, 
By the same Gamut chang'd, to equall it. 
Things simply good, can never be unfit. 
She's faire as any, if all be like her, 
And if none be, then she is singular. 
All love is wonder; if wee justly doe 
Account her wonderfull, why not lovely too? 
Love built on beauty, soone as beauty, dies, 
Chuse this face, chang'd by no deformities. 
Women are all like Angels; the faire be 
Like those which fell to worse; but such as thee, 
Like to good Angels, nothing can impaire: 
'Tis lesse griefe to be foule, than to'have beene faire. 
For one nights revels, silke and gold we chuse, 
But, in long journeyes, cloth, and leather use. 
Beauty is barren oft; best husbands say, 
There is best land, where there is foulest way. 
Oh what a soveraigne Plaister will shee bee, 
If thy past sinnes have taught thee jealousies 
Here needs no spies, nor eunuches; her commit 
Safe to thy foes; yea, to a Marmosit. 
When Belgiaes citties, the round countries drowne, 
That durty foulenesse guards, and armes the towne: 
So doth her face guard her; and so, for thee, 
Which, forc'd by businesses absent oft must bee, 
Shee, whose face, like clouds, turnes the day to night, 
Who, mightier than the sea, makes Moores seem white, 
Who, though seaven yeares, she in the Stews had laid, 
A Nunnery durst receive, and thinke a maid, 
And though in childbeds labour she did lie, 
Midwifes would sweare,' twere but a tympanie, 
Whom, if shee accuse her selfe, I credit lesse 
Than witches, which impossibles confesses 
Whom Dildoes, Bedstaves, and her Velvet Glasse 
Would be as loath to touch as Joseph was: 
One like none, and lik'd of none, fittest were, 
For, things in fashion every man will weare.
