oh what a tangled web we weave

Has anyone heard the rest of this .. Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive? I know that is from Walter Scott but there is a second part that someone has added on about once we have perfected the art. Thanks.

"Oh, what tangled web we weave,
when first we practice to deceive.
And when we've practiced for awhile,
How we do improve our style!"
The above is usually attributed to Dorothy Parker....certainly an American given the spelling of 'practiced' which would have an 's' if it were British!

Yes, it is by Sir Walter Scott, I think it's from Marmion.
