How smart! how beautiful I’d dress me!
Such bonnets, mantles, ruffs, and puffs,
Such gowns, and furbelows, and muffs,
With chains and ear-rings, watch and broche,
And Madam Homespun in her coach:
So grand! so stately! who but me?
How mad my neighbour Barnes will be!
Peace, said the husband, pr’ythee, peace!
’Tis time this idle talk should cease:
