So manifold, they bore no passing-by,—

Little Saint-Rambert has conserved at least

The pure tradition: white from head to heel,

Where is a hint of the ungracious hue?

See, we have traversed with hop, step, and jump,

From heel to head, the main-street in a trice,

Measured the garment (help my metaphor!)

Not merely criticised the cap, forsooth;

And were you pricked by that collecting-itch,

That pruriency for writing o'er your reds,
