EPIGRAM, by                    
First Line: If for silver or for gold
Last Line: Yet even then 't would be damn'd ugly.
Subject(s): Murray, John (1745-1793)


IF for silver, or for gold,
You could melt ten thousand pimples
Into half a dozen dimples,
Then your face we might behold,
Looking, doubtless, much more smugly,
Yet even then 't would be damn'd ugly.
