Glove of black in white hand bare, / And about her forehead pale / Wound a thin, transparent veil, / That doth not conceal her hair; / Sovereign attitude and air, / Cheek and neck alike displayed / With coquettish charms arrayed, / Laughing eyes and fugitive; -- / This is killing men that live, / 'T is not mourning for the dead.
