Both prone to change, no settled limits fix,

And sure the folks of both are lunatics.

But in this parallel my best pretence is,

That mortals visit both to find their senses:

To this strange spot, rakes, macaronies, cits,

Come thronging to collect their scatter'd wits.

The gay coquette, who ogles all the day,

Comes here at night, and goes a prude away.

Hither the affected city dame advancing,

Who sighs for operas, and doats on dancing,
