My name is Griselda Oliver and you
May stare at me as long as you wish;
I will not blush nor blink. Have you noticed
How very pretty I am? The freckles
Time's given me make me even prettier.
I'm clever too; my left eye sees everything
My right eye sees even more.
This miniature me, painted on copper,
Knows a very private joke which you
Are born centuries too late to hear.
