"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

A lot of us about - welcome from yet another - in this case an EM enthusiast.
A beard tax was introduced in Britain in 1535 under Henry VIII. The amount collected by the monarch increased with the beard grower’s standing in society – making facial hair a status symbol. The tax was dropped but was later reintroduced by Henry’s daughter Queen Elizabeth I, who felt that any beard with more than two weeks' worth of growth had to be taxed.
I wonder how they measured it....
