She would laugh, sing, and chat, ever make merry;

A leader of fashions, lively and gay,

She turned day into night—night into day;

Most fully developed, with full rounded arms,

No wonder frail men were struck with her charms;

In London, Paris, on Italia’s soil,

She played all her games according to Hoyle,

She homage received from men of all ranks,

Returned them no love—but simply her thanks.

A pure, spotless virgin, true! she was not,
