Or Flavia's self in glue (her rising task)

How soft is Silia! fearful to offend,
The frail one's Advocate, and weak one's Friend:

But spare your censure; Silia does not drink.
All eyes may see from what the change arose,
All eyes may see — a Pimple on her nose.

All bath'd in tears—"Oh odious, odious Trees!
