English poem
Fashion! Lovely Dame...
by John Cecil Clay (1875–1930)
Fashion! Lovely Dame! Pledge in sparkling wine! Let us add her name To the Muses' nine!
Though the lovely Nin All should pass away Why should Woman pine, If but Fashion stay?
Tho' the Muses' lore Molder on the shelf, Still may She adore In Fashion's glass—Herself.
