Presented a vision entitled to charm
The eyes of all artists; for sure ’tis their duty
To recognize always the true curve of beauty;
And who can deny that here was a curve
Sufficiently curving as model to serve?
The world, as I said, at first in a maze,
With sneers at the strange apparatus did gaze;
But when this same world at last did discover
The “strange apparatus” was she, and no other,
Who only last year the gay fashion did lead,
