    Dresses for breakfasts, and dinners, and balls.
    Dresses to sit in, and stand in, and walk in;
    Dresses to dance in, and flirt in, and talk in,
    Dresses in which to do nothing at all;
    Dresses for Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall;
    All of them different in color and shape.
    Silk, muslin, and lace, velvet, satin, and crape,
    Brocade and broadcloth, and other material,
    Quite as expensive and much more ethereal.

And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was
empty, there was no water in it.

How his eyes languish! how his thoughts adore
That painted coat, which Joseph never wore!
He shows, read more

How his eyes languish! how his thoughts adore
That painted coat, which Joseph never wore!
He shows, on holidays, a sacred pin,
That touch'd the ruff, that touched Queen Bess' chin.

Know'st me not by my clothes?

Who is thy grandfather. He made those clothes,
Which, as it seems, make thee.

Doe more bewitch me than when art
Is too precise in every part.

He will come to her in yellow stockings, and 'tis a color she
abhors, and cross-gartered, a fashion she detests; and he will
smile upon her, which will now be so unsuitable to her
disposition, being addicted to a melancholy as she is, that it
cannot but turn him into a notable contempt.
