The Graces play her lips around,
And in her cheeks the tendrest dyes
Of lilly mixed with rose are found.
Where charms so irresistless throng
What mortal heart can try resistance?
But ah! her nose is two feet long,
And bids our passions keep their distance.”

If virtues from within no lustre lend!
Strip off th’externals M and Y, the rest
Proves Majesty itself is but a Jest.”
