  A lady in a cowl of lawn With straight bound tabs and muted eyes, And lips fair thin and deftly drawn And oddly wise. A cameo, a ruff of lace, A neck cut square with corners laid; A thin Greek nose and near the face A polished braid. Low, sideways looped, of amber stain The pale ears caught within its snare. A profile like a dagger lain Between the hair.
