ON A PAINTED WOMAN
To youths, who hurry thus away,
How silly your desire is
At such an early hour to pay
Your compliments to Iris.
Stop, prithee, stop, ye hasty beaux,
No longer urge this race on;
Though Iris has put on her clothes,
She has not put her face on.
Shelley was one of the major English Romantic Poets and is regarded by some as among the finest lyric poet in the English language. Mary Shelley who wrote Frankenstein was his second wife.
