The quote is the final two lines of Jonathan Swift's poem "The Lady's
Dressing Room." The poem was first published in 1732.

You can read the entire poem here:

Google Web Search: "such gaudy tulips"

I hope this information is useful. If anything is unclear or
incomplete, please request clarification; I'll be glad to offer
further assistance before you rate my answer.

Best regards,
