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;
Throw modesty out from your manners and face,
A-la-mode de Francois, you're a bit for his Grace.
