TO MADAME DE SEVIGNE by MATHIEU DE MONTREUIL

First Line: YOU CHARM WHEN YOU TALK, WALK, OR MOVE
Last Line: WHEN THE BANDAGE IS OFF -- FOR HIS MOTHER!
Subject(s): SEVIGNE, MARIE DE (1626-1696); WRITING & WRITERS;

YOU charm when you talk, walk, or move,
Still more on this day than another:
When blinded -- you 're taken for Love;
When the bandage is off -- for his mother!
