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
