THE TON
A Favourite Song, sung by Mrs. Wrighten at Vauxhall. 
Composed by Mr. Hook.
  Too long the rhymesters of the age, 
  Those scribbling sons of strife, 
  Have dar'd a crow-quill war to wage, 
  With dames of higher life;
  I am the sex's championess, 
  And now stand forth alone, 
  Prepar'd to rescue and redress
  The ladies of the Ton.
. . . [4 verses with last line "The ladies of the Ton"
follow]
