And There's a Pretty Little Thing, Waiting For The King, Down In The Jungle Room.
This young stage beauty has grabbed the eye,
And when Meer becomes Million, you will see why.
A brazen brand for a brazen way,
This bloody smear is a shameful pay -
Even for this miniscule ruiner,
Of sound and sight does slay.
Reviving France on the back of a tiny flower,
Or resurrecting Tara to her former power?

Does the Tara reference refer to a Buddhist Goddesses?
If so...what color?
The phrase " A brazen brand for a brazen way," is bugging the shit out of me!

No, the Tara reference is not to Buddhism

Reviving France on the back of a tiny flower might refer to Scarlet Pimpernel, and something else to scarlet fever, but my English isn't sufficient to even understand the clues...

Ryan, stands on the shoulders of all the good guessers before him and calls out: Scarlett Johansson in the "Girl with a Pearl Earring"?
As soon as I heard Scarlett, Vermeer, and recent movies it clicked.
