NUMBER:7943
AUTHOR:Austin Dobson (1840–1921)
QUOTATION:The ladies of St. James’s!
  They’re painted to the eyes;
Their white it stays forever
  Their red it never dies:
But Phillida, my Phillida!
  Her color comes and goes;
It trembles to a lily,—
  It wavers to a rose.
ATTRIBUTION:At the Sign of the Lyre.
