A strange alternative, replies Sir Hans,

Must women have a doctor, or a dance?

Though sick to death, abroad they safely roam,

But droop and die, in perfect health, at home:

For want—but not of health, are ladies ill;

And tickets cure beyond the doctor's pill.

Alas, my heart! how languishingly fair

Yon lady lolls! with what a tender air!

Pale as a young dramatic author, when,

O'er darling lines, fell Cibber waves his pen.
