A Version of the French Lines, said to have been stuck up at
Versailles.
  Here are boats to be sold, whose bottoms are flat,
  Soldiers to be hir'd, who are not over fat,
  Having long liv'd on aliment powder alone,
  Whereby they have little besides skin and bone:
  A minister that's commonly wish'd at the de'el;
  Generals that deserve to be broke at the wheel.
