In short, they are your colors, Mrs. Fry!

As for the naughty tinges of the prism—

Crimson's the cruel uniform of war—

Blue—hue of brimstone! minds no catechism;

And green is young and gay—not noted for

Goodness, or gravity, or quietism,

Till it is sadden'd down to tea-green, or

Olive—and purple's giv'n to wine, I guess;

And yellow is a convict by its dress!
