Austin Dobson quote: "The ladies of St James's! They're painted to the eyes, Their white it stays for ever, Their red it never dies: But Phyllida, my Phyllida! Her colour comes and goes; It trembles to a lily, It wavers to a rose."

Her colour comes and goes;
It trembles to a lily,
It wavers to a rose.

Copied!
