Her titles, slanderous names; her praise, reproach;

Her strength, an idiot’s boast; her wisdom, blind;

Her gain, eternal loss; her hope, a dream;

Her love, her friendship, enmity with God;

Her promises, a lie; her smile, a harlot’s;

Her beauty, paint, and rotten within; her pleasures,

Deadly assassins masked; her laughter, grief;

Her breasts, the stings of death; her total sum,

Her all, most total vanity.

Pollok.
