The same in Burlesque.
See, how in this Marble StatuePhillis like herself looks at you.
Nature and Carver were at Strife,
But he has done her most to th'Life:
She made that frozen Breast so white,
He made her such another by't;
She made her a most pretty Creature,
And He exactly hit each Feature;
She her for Love and Dalliance chose,
And did of softest Mold compose,
Like to the Jess'mine or the Rose.
But He, who saw how She was grown
Hard and relentless as a Stone,
Did her with artful Chizel frame
Of what She by her Fault became.
