• In Koln, a town of monks and bones,
  And pavement fang'd with murderous stones,
  And rags and hags, and hideous wenches,
  I counted two-and-seventy stenches,
  All well defined, and several stinks!
  Ye nymphs that reign o'er sewers and sinks,
  The River Rhine, it is well known,
  Doth wash your city of Cologne;
  But tell me, nymphs! what power divine
  Shall henceforth whash the river Rhine.

  Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Euphemisms are unpleasant truths wearing diplomatic cologne.
