40. Scotland Before 1700, p. 294. At an earlier date Sir David Lyndsay writes to the same effect as Lithgow:

Ane uther falt, Schir, may be sene;
Thay hyde thair face all bot the ene;
Quhen gentill men biddis thame gude day
Without reverence they slyde away,
That none may knaw, I you assure
Ane honest woman be ane hure;
Without thair naikit face, I se
Thay get na mo gude dayis of me.
Haile ane France lady quhen ye pleis,
Scho wyll discover mouth and neis,
And with one humill countenance.
With visage bair, mak reverence.

-Satire of the Three Estates.

According to Fynes Moryson, the custom of women in covering their heads when out of doors was differently regarded in Germany. "And when they (the German women) goe out of dores, they are reputed harlotts, if they couer not theire faces and theire heades with lynnen clothe, and their apparell with a Cloke, and if thay carry not in theire handes a little basket as if they went abroade to buy somethinge, tho perhapps thay goe only to visite a frend."-Shakespeare's Europe, p. 292.

"All the Germans," he says, "have one nationall vice of drunckennes in such excesse (espetially the Saxons), as it staynes all theire nationall vertues, and makes them often offensive to frends and much more to strangers."Shakespeare's Europe, p. 290.
