But I do mean to say, I have heard her declare,
When at the same moment she had on a dress
Which cost five hundred dollars, and not a cent less,
And jewelry worth tem times more, I should guess,
That he had not a thing in the wide world to wear!

So for thy spirit did devise
Its Maker seemly garniture,
Of its own essence parcel pure.--

And reticent demureness,
And love encinctured with reserve;

For outward robes in their ostents
Should show the soul's habiliments.
Therefore I say,--Thou'rt fair even so,
But better Fair I use to know.
