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.
