“To dress or adorn in a showy, gaudy, or tasteless manner.”
The prince
Was nothing more
Then a waste of space.
Arete had no time
For men such as this.
He was handsome,
Yes,
But lacked a certain
Je ne sais quoi.
She watched him,
Lip turned up
And nose wrinkled,
As he was fitted
In a bedizen manner
With a golden
Breastplate;
Not for war,
No
Too pretty for that,
But for a rendering
In his likeness.
