A RECEIPT FOR MODERN DRESS.
Hang a small bugle cap on, as big as a crown.
Snout it off with a flower, Vulgo dict, a pompoon,
Let your powder be grey, and braid up your hair
Like the mane of a colt, to be sold at a fair.
. . . [14 lines]
But mount on French heels when you go to a ball,
'Tis the fashion to totter and shew you can fall;
