THE LOOKING-GLASS: or, Parental Fondness.
Paraphrased from the third fable of the eighth book of
Phoedrus.
  As two small children were at play
  In mamma's dressing-room, there lay
  In view a looking-glass;
  The lad was beautiful and fair, 
  With rosy cheeks and curling hair--
  Quite reverse the lass.
