HANG a small bugle cap on, as big as a crown, Snout it off with a flowr, vulgo dict. a Pompoou, Let your powder be gay, and braid up your hair, Like the mane of a colt to be sold at a fair. Like the mane, etc. A short pair of jumps, half an ell from your chin, To make you appear like one just lying-in; Before your brest pin a stomacher bib on, Ragout it with curlets of silver and ribbon. Your neck and your shoulders both naked should be, A-la-mode de Vandyke, blown with chevaux de frize, Let your gown be a sack, blue, yellow, or green, And frizzle your elbows with ruffles sixteen. Furl off your lawn apron with flounces in rows, Puff and pucker up knots on your arms and your toes, Make your petticoats short, that a hoop 8 yards wide May decently shew how your garters are tyd. With fringes of knotting your dicky cabob, On slippers of velvet set gold a-la-daube; 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, youre a bit for his Grace.

SINCE, Sir, you have made it your study to vex, And audaciously laugh at the dress of our sex, Pray dont be so blind to the faults of your own, But let them, I say, in the next lines be shewn. Instead of small caps, you must then add small wigs, The tail of which mostly resembles a pigs; Put a hat upon that, and point it up high, Just like to an arrow thats aimd at the sky. At the corner of which, I pray dont forget, Hang a tassel of silver, to make it compleat; Let the stock be well plaited, in fanciful forms, Whilst a fine diamond heart the shirt bosom adorns. Let the sword-hilt be coverd with ribbon good store, Lest the roughness around make the tender hand sore; Yet no need is for that, for theyll certainly fly The place where they think any danger is nigh. His coat is to be but a foot from his waist, And fixd as tight too as if it were lacd; In his pocket a housewife and pincushion place, Not forgetting a glass to shew his sweet face. With stockings of silk, nothing less can such please, Bind his legs round with silver an inch above knees, Hang a tassel to that, or else it wont do, And in length it must reach half way to his shoe. His bright buckles of stone, of five guineas price, To adorn his neat feet, and make him more nice: Thus drest and equipt, tis plain to be seen, Hes not one jot better than monsieur Pantin.
