ON ROMPING.
Jenny, skilled in prudish airs, 
Nor frisky, pert, nor grey;
Tho' constantly she says her prayers, 
Will sometimes romp and play.
. . . [3 more verses]
Thus whilst at balls, with air genteel, 
Each flowing form we see, 
Dancing, in fact, is romping still, 
With regularity.
Hence routs and balls a romp I call, 
Tho' by a lady made;
And, what's the greatest romp of all, 
A midnight masquerade.
. . . [2 more verses]
