Fashion! Lovely Dame...

By John Cecil Clay

Fashion! Lovely Dame!

Pledge in sparkling wine!

Let us add her name

To the Muses’ nine!

Though the lovely Nin

All should pass away

Why should Woman pine,

If but Fashion stay?

Tho’ the Muses’ lore

Molder on the shelf,

Still may She adore

In Fashion's glass — Herself.
