Upon my life, he finds, although I cannot,
Myself to be a marvellous proper man.
I'll be at charges for a looking-glass;
And entertain a score or two of tailors,
To study fashions to adorn my body:
Since I am crept in favour with myself,
I will maintain it with fome little coft.
But, first, I'll turn yon' fellow in his grave;
And then return lamenting to my love.-
Shine out, fair fun, 'till I have bought a glass,
That I may see my shadow as I pass.
