With industry I spread your praise.
With equal, you my censure blaze;
But, Zoilus, all in vain we do —
The world nor credits me nor you.
There’s a lie on thy cheek in its roses,
A lie echo’d back by thy glass.
Thy necklace on greenhorns imposes,
And the ring on thy finger is brass.
Yet thy tongue, I affirm, without giving an inch back,
Outdoes the sham jewels, rouge, mirror, and pinchbeck.
