The loose Empresse Messalina
Th' Imperiall Strumpet with one Maid, stole out
In her night-hoods, and having cast about
Her black haire, a red perriwigge; she got
Into a Stewes, where th' old rugge still was hot;
Had a spare roome, kept for her. There gold-chain'd,
Had a spare roome, kept for her. There gold-chain'd,
Bare breasted stood, her name Lycisca fain'd;
High borne Britannicus, thy womb disply'd;
Smil'd upon all that came, her bargaine made,
And when the Wenches were dismiss'd, she last,
('Twas all she could) sadly the doore made fast,
And many thirsted-for encounters try'd,
Departed tir'd with men, not satisfy'd,
And foul'd with candle-smoak, her cheeks smear'd o're,
The Brothell-steame she to her pillow bore.
– Juvenal (AD 50-127), translated by Sir Robert Stapylton (1647)
