Did strive to ruin great Alcanzar’s fame.

He dress’d himself all in a maid’s array,

Gown, stays and petticoat, extremely gay;

A muslin head-dress, with a large toopee;

Few of our Ladies look’d so fine as he.

Up street he walk’d with a majestic air,

And to Alcanzar’s lodgings did repair.

First gave a penny, then he shew’d his hand,

And did with down cast eyes dejected stand:

But who can tell the sequel without tears?
