Ye belles, and ye flirts, and ye pert little things,
Who trip in this frolikesome round,
Pray tell me from whence this indecency springs,
The sexes at once to confound?
What means the cock'd hat, and the masculine air,
With each motion design'd to perplex?
Bright eyes were intended to languish, not stare,
And softness the test of your sex.
. . . [3 more verses, signed] Juvenis
