Niu Chau. This jar has certainly a very appalling fracture.
Lady W. Therefore, it requires the more care in mending.
Niu Chau. That is self-evident.
Lady W. Now, Lady Wang will retire again to her dressing room,
And, after closing the door, will resume her toilet.
Her appearance she will beautify;
On the left, her hair she will comb into a dragon’s head tuft,
On the right, she will arrange it tastefully with flowers;
Her lips she will color with blood-red vermilion,
And a gem of chrysoprase will she place in the dragon’s head tuft.
