One ape-hand dragged it back; the other grasp'd

A steel blade's haft of horn.

A hideous babe in nauseous nudity,

Huge-headed, grinning like a clown,

Advertised Soap. A vile monstrosity,

The terror of the Town!

Nor these alone; but every horror rare,

Which the sensation-poisoned mind.

Imaged to advertise vile trash, was there—

As large as life design'd.
