    Davidswood Earth Angel

    Happiest of the Spaniel Race;
    Painter, with thy colours grace;
    Draw her forehead large and high,
    Draw her browne and humid eye;
    Draw her neck so smooth and round,
    Little neck with ribands bound;
    And the mutely swelling breast,
    Where the loves and Graces rest;
    And the spreading even back,
    Soft, and sleek, and glossy black;
    And the tail that gently twines,
    Like the tendrils of the vines;
    And the silky twisted hair,
    Shadowing thick the velvet ear.

    (author: Swift c. 1700)
