TRUE
BEAUTY
.
BY
DR.
FORDYCE
.
THE
diamond's
and
the
ruby's
blaze
Disputes
the
palm
with
Beauty's
queen
:
Not
Beauty's
queen
commands
such
praise
,
Devoid
of
virtue
if
she's
seen
.
But
the
soft
tear
in
Pity's
eye
Outshines
the
diamond's
brightest
beams
;
But
the
sweet
blush
of
Modesty
More
beauteous
than
the
ruby
seems
.
