CLARINA.
Sweet innocence, and artless truth,
Adorn'd Clarina's early youth;
Mild, modest, unaffected, free,
Her nature was simplicity.
. . . [24 lines] 
The decent veil is thrown aside, 
T' expose her bosom's rising pride.
The fashions now engross her care,
Dirt, gewgaws, lace, and broider'd hair;
And dancing turns to night and day,
To please the vain, and court the gay.
