'Tailors! by Jupiter! Serve'em right, the rogues. Tailors lining upon ragou royal, Spanish olea, Puddock fat livers, and green morels in the Phoenix, the scoundrels, and laughing to see poor gentlemen of the Royal Irish Artillery starving at their gates hang 'em.

Hsiang-yuen next fetched the themes for the verses and pinned them with a needle on the wall.
This is the inevitable destiny of dissolution and continuance which prevails in the mortal world, and what need is there to indulge in useless grief? Intolerable to the world. Your figure will be as winsome as an olea fragrans; your talents as ample as those of a Fairy! You will by nature be so haughty that of the whole human race few will be like you!
