A Song of Beautiful Women
On the third day of the third month the air by the Serpentine is fresh and the capital's great ladies are out on the waterside, peacocks and unicorns worked in gold thread on their gauze. Camel-hump comes up from jade cauldrons and the crystal dishes go back barely touched while the palace kitchens send more, and last of all the chief minister rides up so grandly that nobody dares go near. The satire never names the Yang clan and every reader knew who was meant.
