When lovely woman tilths her saucer, 

 And finds too late that tea will stain, 

 Whatever made a Lady crosser, 

 What art can wash all white again; 

 The only art the stain to cover, 

 To hide the spot from every eye; 

 And wear an unsoiled dress above her. 

 The proper colour is to DTE. 



From (Swartz, 1841, p. 36)
