Cordovan leather, spangled blue,

Glanced merriment; and from large arms

To well-turned ancles all your charms

Blew flutterings and glitterings

Of satin bands and beaded strings;

And 'round each arm's fair thigh one fold,

And graceful wrists, a twisted gold

Coiled serpents, tails fixed in the head,

Convulsive-jeweled glossy red.

In flowers and trimmings to the jar
