“Strange is the power of snuff, whose pungent grains

Can make fops speak, and furnish beaux with brains;

Nor care of cleanliness, nor love of dress,

Can save their clothes from brick-dust nastiness.

Some think the part too small of modish sand

Which at a niggard pinch they can command;

Nor can their fingers for that task suffice,

Their nose too greedy, not their hands too nice;

To such a height with these is fashion grown,

They feed their very nostrils with a spoon.
