Cymar, si-m�r′, n. a loose light dress worn by ladies.

The simple garb of the Virgin and St. Joseph and the squalor of the two beggars beside them emphasize the splendor of the High Priest and of Simeon, whose heavy cymar seems to be woven of gems and gold.

The cymar was knotted round her bosom with a modest girdle, and left bare two arms prettily moulded, on which shone bracelets of gold, fantastically wrought.

The dame herself—the goddess well express’d, Not more distinguished by her purple vest— Than by the charming features of the face— And e’en in slumber—a superior grace: Her comely limbs—compos’d with decent care, Her body shaded—by a light cymar, Her bosom to the view—was only bare; Where two beginning paps were scarcely spied— For yet their places were but signified.—

Sea-roads plated with pieces of eight that rolled to a heaven by rum made mellow, Heaved and coloured our barque's black nose where the Lascar sang to a twinkling star, And the tangled bow-sprit plunged and dipped its point in the west's wild red and yellow, Till the curved white moon crept out astern like a naked knife from a blue cymar.
