A RECEIPT FOR A MODERN DRESS.
Pin a small bugle cap on, as big as a crown, 
Snout it off with a ribbon, vulgo dict, a pomooon.
Let your powder by grey, and braid up your hair.
Like the mane of a colt, to be sold at a fair.
. . . [13 lines]
On slippers of velvet, set gold a-la-baube, 
But mount on French heels when you go to a dance, 
'Twas the fashion in England, and likewise in France.
