To suit the Blanc de Perle (in paste)
That forms a background whitely chaste
For the Rouge’s sympathetic blush
Stippled neatly on with a hare’s-foot brush
On the cheeks, to which Styrian Lotion lends
A plumpness that Nature far transcends,
Of the Maiden’s Face that Art made!
Truth. December 25, 1883.
