My Hair's Too Long

Long hair will make thee look dreadfully to thine enemies,
 and manly to thy friends:
 it is, in peace, an ornament;
 in war, a strong helmet; it deadens the leaden thump of a bullet:
 in winter, it is a warm nightcap;
 in summer, a cooling fan of feathers.”
Thomas Dekker, 1609 

Yeah, that may be, but I need a trim”
Edward, 2012
