Mark Yonder Pomp Of Costly Fashion（1 / 2）

mark yonder pomp of costly fashion

mark yonder pomp of costly fashion

round the wealthy, titled bride:

but when compar'd with real passion,

what are the noisy pleasures?

the gay, gaudy glare of vanity and art:

the polish'd jewels' blaze

may draw the wond'ring gaze;

and courtly grandeur bright

the fancy may delight,
