First Line: Prythee who so fantastic and vain?
Last Line: Because that thy teeth are so white?
Subject(s): Clothing & Dress;vanity
"Prythee why so fantastic and vain?
What charms can the toilet supply?
Why so studious, admirers to gain?
Need beauty lay traps for the eye?
Because that thy breast is so fair,
Must thy tucker be still setting right?
And canst thou not laughing forbear,
Because that thy teeth are so white?"
