The Beard
“Though yours be sorely lugged and torn It does your Visage more adorn Than if ’twere prun’d, and starch’d, and launder’d And cut square by the Russian standard.” —“Hudibras,” SAMUEL BUTLER. “Now of beards there be such company And fashions such a throng That it is very hard to handle a beard Tho’ it be never so long. “’Tis a pretty sight and a grave delight That adorns both young and old A well thatch’t face is a comely grace And a shelter from the cold” —“Le Prince d’Amour,” 1660.
