Which accounts for these spots on my nose."

"A likeness!" cries Crosslook, the lawyer, and sneers;

"Yes, the wig, throat and forehead I spy,

And the mouth, chin, and cheeks, and the nose and the ears,

But it gives me a cast in the eye!"


Thus needs it the courage of old Cousin Hotspur,

To sit to an artist who flatters no sitter;

Yet Self-love will urge us to seek him, for what spur

So potent as that, though it make the truth bitter!
