A satirical verse complains about wigs as vulgar fads and vain vanity. The speaker derides animals’ tails and hairpieces, condemns stolen locks, and questions the propriety of wigs for the living and dead.
The piece recounts Jacob fleeing Esau to Haran where he wooes Rachel, wins a yearned-for wife but is deceived into marrying Leah first. It contrasts Leah’s plain looks with Rachel’s beauty, notes labor for marriage, and ends with a critique of Jacob’s patience and Laban’s cunning.
