    “My Phillis hath prime-feathered flowers

    That leaps since she doth own them.
    But Phillis hath so hard a heart—”
    —Thomas Lodge (1558?–1625)

    “It was not exactly a hairdresser’s; that is to say, people of a coarse and vulgar turn of mind might have called it a barber’s; for they not only cut and curled ladies elegantly, and children carefully, but shaved gentlemen easily.”
