decipulam_, [5011]one
therefore calls it, _et indicem libidinis_, the trap of lust, and sure
token, as an ivy-bush is to a tavern.

"Quod pulchros Glycere sumas de pixide vultus,
Quod tibi compositae nec sine lege comae:
Quod niteat digitis adamas, Beryllus in aure,
Non sum divinus, sed scio quid cupias."

"O Glycere, in that you paint so much,
Your hair is so bedeckt in order such.
With rings on fingers, bracelets in your ear,
Although no prophet, tell I can, I fear."

To be admired, to be gazed on, to circumvent some novice; as many times
they do, that instead of a lady he loves a cap and a feather instead of a
maid that should have _verum colorem, corpus solidum et succi plenum_ (as
Chaerea describes his mistress in the [5012]poet), a painted face, a
ruff-band, fair and fine linen, a coronet, a flower, ([5013]_Naturaeque
putat quod fuit artificis_,) a wrought waistcoat he dotes on, or a pied
petticoat, a pure dye instead of a proper woman. For generally, as with
rich-furred conies, their cases are far better than their bodies, and like
the bark of a cinnamon, tree, which is dearer than the whole bulk, their
outward accoutrements are far more precious than their inward endowments.
'Tis too commonly so.

[5014] "Auferimur cultu, et gemmis, auroque teguntur
Omnia; pars minima est ipsa puella sui."

"With gold and jewels all is covered,
And with a strange tire we are won,
(Whilst she's the least part of herself)
And with such baubles quite undone."

Why do they keep in so long together, a whole winter sometimes, and will
not be seen but by torch or candlelight, and come abroad with all the
preparation may be, when they have no business, but only to show
themselves? _Spectatum veniunt, veniunt spectentur ut ipsae._

[5015] "For what is beauty if it be not seen,
Or what is't to be seen if not admir'd,
And though admir'd, unless in love desir'd?"

why do they go with such counterfeit gait, which [5016]Philo Judeus
reprehends them for, and use (I say it again) such gestures, apish,
ridiculous, indecent attires, sybaritical tricks, _fucos genis, purpurissam
venis, cerussam fronti, leges occulis_, &c. use those sweet perfumes,
powders and ointments in public; flock to hear sermons so frequent, is it
for devotion? or rather, as [5017]Basil tells them, to meet their
sweethearts, and see fashion
