Thomas Hardy - A Circular
Work rating: Low

As `legal representative`
I read a missive not my own,
On new designs the senders give
     For clothes, in tints as shown.


Here figure blouses, gowns for tea,
And presentation-trains of state,
Charming ball-dresses, millinery,
     Warranted up to date.


And this gay-pictured, spring-time shout
Of Fashion, hails what lady proud?
Her who before last year was out
     Was costumed in a shroud.
