THE IRISHE KARNES APPARELL MOSTE LIUELY SET OUT.

With Jackettes long and large,

which shroude simplicitie:

Though spitfull dartes which thei do beare

importe iniquitie.

Their Shirts be verie straunge,

not reachyng paste the thie:

With pleates on pleates thei pleated are,

as thicke as pleates maie lye.

Whose sleues hang trailing doune

almoste unto the Shoe:

And with a Mantell commonilie,

the Irishe Karne doe goe.

Now some emongest the reste,

doe use an other weede:

A coate I meane of strange device,

whiche fancie first did breede.

His skirtes be verie shorte,

with pleates set thicke about,

And Irishe trouzes more to put

their straunge protractours out.[24]
