An artist but requires a hint:

There are the features—give the cheeks a tint—

Paint in the eyes—and, though the task's a hard 'un,

You'll find the thing, I'll swear,

As like as he can,—no, I beg your pardon,—

As like as he could stare!"

"Alas! alas!" the eldest sister sigh'd,

And then she sobb'd and cried,

So that 'twas long ere she again could speak,—

"We buried him last week!"
