Woman

John Wilson (Christopher North) (1785–1854)

THERE in the fane a beauteous creature stands,

The first best work of the Creator’s hands,

Whose slender limbs inadequately bear

A full-orbed bosom and a weight of care;

Whose teeth like pearls, whose lips like cherries, show,

And fawn-like eyes still tremble as they glow.
