Beautiful hands! they have a magic of their own. Prized by those who possess them, coveted by those who do not. The poets love them, and chant harmonious praises to soft, shapely palms, and rosy finger tips. The world – whom the poets lead – the world praises them too: and hence the pains taken among all who would be admired, to make and keep this prominent member fair to the sight and pleasant to the touch.
