On Marinda's Toilette.
Hence vulgar Beauties take their pow'rful Arms,And from their Toilette borrow all their Charms:
But bright Marinda with a kinder Care
Rebates her sharper-pointed Glances here.
With our weak Sight in pity she complies,
And with our Fashions vails the Glories of her Eyes.
The Angels thus descending from above
To visit Men with Messages of Love,
Such Shape assum'd our Blessing to compleat,
And make the Favour kind as it was great.
Through mortal Vestments shone th'Angelick Air,
And tho' in human Form they seem'd most heav'nly Fair.
