William Cowper - On A Similar Character (From The Greek)
Work rating: Low

You give your cheks a rosy stain,
With washes dye your hair;
But paint and washes both are vain
To give a youthful air.

Those wrinkles mock your daily toil,
No labor will efface `em,
You wear a mask of smoothest oil,
Yet still with ease we trace `em.

An art so fruitless then forsake,
Which though you much excel in,
You never can contrive to make 
Old Hecuba young Helen.
