In red, brown, yellow, green, or blue,

In short, what's called the private view,—

Amongst the guests—the deuce knows how

She got in there without a row—

There came a large and vulgar dame,

With arms deep red, and face the same,

Showing in temper not a Saint;

No one could guess for why she came,

Unless perchance to "scour the Paint."

From wall to wall she forced her way,
