________________________________________________
Title:     Epigram: Each Bond-Street Buck Conceits, Unhappy Elf!
Author: Samuel Taylor Coleridge [More Titles by Coleridge]

Each Bond-street buck conceits, unhappy elf!
He shews his _clothes_! Alas! he shews _himself_.
O that they knew, these overdrest self-lovers,
What hides the body oft the mind discovers.


First published in _Morning Post_, Oct. 11, 1802.
