lirik lagu george rylands - the rape of lock (canto 1, lines 121 - 144)
and now, unveil’d, the toilet stands display’d
each silver vase in mystic order laid
first, rob’d in white, the nymph intent adores
with head uncover’d, the cosmetic pow’rs
a heav’nly image in the glass appears
to that she bends, to that her eyes she rears;
th’ inferior priestess, at her altar’s side
trembling, begins the sacred rites of pride
unnumber’d treasures ope at once, and here
the various off’rings of the world appear;
from each she nicely culls with curious toil
and decks the goddess with the glitt’ring spoil
this casket india’s glowing gems unlocks
and all arabia breathes from yonder box
the tortoise here and elephant unite
transform’d to combs, the speckled and the white
here files of pins extend their shining rows
puffs, powders, patches, bibles, billet~doux
now awful beauty puts on all its arms;
the fair each moment rises in her charms
repairs her smiles, awakens ev’ry grace
and calls forth all the wonders of her face;
sees by degrees a purer blush arise
and keener lightnings quicken in her eyes
the busy sylphs surround their darling care;
these set the head, and those divide the hair
some fold the sleeve, whilst others plait the gown;
and betty’s prais’d for labours not her own
