ON THE TOILET TABLE OF QUEEN MARIE-ANTIONETTE by JOHN BOWYER BUCHANAN NICHOLS

First Line: THIS WAS HER TABLE, THESE HER TRIM OUTSPREAD
Last Line: THE MOST UNHAPPY HEAD IN ALL THE WORLD.
Subject(s): MARIE ANTOINETTE, QUEEN OF FRANCE;
THIS was her table, these her trim outspread
Brushes and trays and porcelain cups for red;
Here state she, while her women tired and curled
The most unhappy head in all the world.
