Oh! "darkly, deeply, beautifully blue,"
  As some one somewhere sings about the sky,
And I, ye learned ladies, say of you;
  They say your stockings are so (Heaven knows why,
I have examined few pair of that hue);
  Blue as the garters which serely lie
Round the Patrician left-legs, which adorn
The festal midnight, and the levee morn.
[...]
Humboldt, "the first of travellers," but not
  The last, if late accounts be accurate,
Invented, by some name I have forgot,
  As well as the sublime discovery's date,
An airy instrument, with which he sought
  To ascertain the atmospheric state,
By measuring "the intensity of blue:"
Oh, Lady Daphne! let me measure you!
