First note may lead to last, an octave crown the scale,

And this feminity be followed—do not flout!—

By—who concludes the masque with curtsey, smile and pout,

Submissive-mutinous? No other than Fifine

Points toe, imposes haunch, and pleads with tambourine!

"Well, what 's the meaning here, what does the masque intend,

Which, unabridged, we saw file past us, with no end

Of fair ones, till Fifine came, closed the catalogue?"
