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 faceA polished braid.

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 stainThe pale ears caught within its snare.A profile like a dagger lainBetween the hair.

Low, sideways looped, of amber stain

The pale ears caught within its snare.

A profile like a dagger lain

Between the hair.
