Alexander Pope - The Looking-GlasAlexander Pope - The Looking-Glas
Work rating: Low


With scornful mien, and various toss of air, Fantastic vain, and insolently fair, Grandeur intoxicates her giddy brain, She looks ambition, and she moves disdain. Far other carriage grac`d her virgin life, But charming G—-y`s lost in P——y`s wife. Not greater arrogance in him we find, And this conjunction swells at least her mind: O could the sire renown`d in glass, produce One faithful mirror for his daughter`s use! Wherein she might her haughty errors trace, And by reflection learn to mend her face: The wonted sweetness to her form restore, Be what she was, and charm mankind once more!
