Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton Artist unknown (c.1600) Henry, my darling, you are a gorg
Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton Artist unknown (c.1600) Henry, my darling, you are a gorgeous creature and everyone wants to write sexy poems for you, but that doesn’t mean you can get away with trousers like that. Well… I suppose it’s that extra little skirt, really. The breeches on their own would probably look fine, even if the colour does make them look like they were knitted from your own hair. Which, incidentally, is lovely. It’s always lovely. However: I would like to know how your brain doesn’t overheat between that fabulous mane and your silly feathered helmet. (By the way, I’ve found some other excellent pictures of Southampton which will turn up another time. I hope you’re all looking forward to that as much as I am.) -- source link
