I. IN the former Ages there never was the state Or pride in their Apparel as here has been of late; Father Adam and his Wife, they did never in their life, The lest admire rich Attire, they were not at strife, For Silks or Sattins, or shining Gold, Poor silly Fig-leaves serv'd for to keep them from the Cold: But now 'tis turn'd we see to Silks and bravery, Young Sparks admire rich Attire, mounted cap-a-pe. II. We have been degraded by Gallants long ago, And told of our high Toppins, this of a truth you know, With our paint and powder'd Hair, but I think we may declare You cannot blame us, nor defame us, tho' the same we wear; Having now follow'd us in our Pride, With Silks a shining Gold, nay, and twenty things beside: Now Gallants of the Game, henceforward never blame Young Maids nor Women for their Trimming, first yourselves reclaim. III. Is it not apparent from what we dayly see, That all your chief delight is in Prodigality, While you study night and day for new Fashions rich and gay, With Wig and Rapier, how you vaper at each Ball and Play, Where if you find any thing that's new, The Tayler must be fetch'd without any more ado: Now Gallants of the Game, etc. Young Maids nor Women, etc. IV. Men of old delighted in modest locks of Hair, Which now of late are slighted, for ranting Gallants wear Wigs that dangle to each Waste, with their Garments fring'd & lac'd Which Bully hectors, Jilt-protectors thinks that they are grac'd,
When they do strut it like Peacocks gay, In Feathers bought on trust for which they'll forget to pay: Then Gallants of the Game, henceforward never blame Young Maids nor Women for their Trimming, first yourselves re-claim. V. See the bowish Button can of a Turnip seize, To keep up Caralina from hanging o're their Eyes, With Button-holes beside, which are near as large and wide Upon each Jacket, as Joan's Placket, can it be deny'd? Sleeves hanging over their Knuckles, Sir, Like to a pair of Poaks for to carry Provender: Then Gallants blush for shame, etc. Young Maids nor Women, etc. VI. They must have their Rapier with a rich silver Hilt, A knot of gaudy Ribbons, tho' not a groat of Gilt; With a ranting taring Muff, thus the flanting Bully huff, Looks like a Paggin, you'd immagine he hath Means enough; Yet let me tell you these modish Bows, Are often in a strait and oblig'd to pawn their Cloaths: Thus Gallarts of the Game, etc. Young Maids nor Women, etc. VII. Such conceited Cods-heads was never known before, While in their gaudy Plumbs how they view themselves all o're, Nay the Wig must have a fling for to show the Diamond-ring, 'Tis state and pleasure out of measure, and a glorious thing, To show the Ladies their excellence, Thus with their ranting Pride they have scarce a grain of Sense: Then Gallant of the Game, henceforward never blame Young Maids nor Women for their Trimming, first yourselves re-claim.
