    He that is proud of the rustling of his silks, like a madman,
    laughs at the ratling of his fetters. For indeed, Clothes ought
    to be our remembrancers of our lost innocency.

But I do mean to say, I have heard her declare,
When at the same moment she had on a dress
Which cost five hundred dollars, and not a cent less,
And jewelry worth tem times more, I should guess,
That he had not a thing in the wide world to wear!

Cared little for bonnets, and read more

Dwellers in huts and in marble halls--
From Shepherdess up to Queen--

The dress they wore in the Golden Age
Would seem in the Age of Gold.

Each Bond-street buck conceits, unhappy elf;
He shows his clothes! alas! he shows himself.
O that they knew, these overdrest self-lovers,
What hides the body oft the mind discovers.
