Excerpt from Nothing to Wear
On the crown of her head or the sole of her foot, -
Or wrap round her shoulders, or fit round her waist,
Or that can be sewed on, or pinned on, or laced,
Or tied on with a string, or stitched on with a bow,

Silk, muslin, and lace-crape, velvet, and satin,
Brocade, and broadcloth, and other material
Quite as expensive, and much more ethereal;
In short, for all things that could ever be thought of,
