What tho' he all dusty and whiten'd does go,

The more he's be-powder'd, the more like a Beau;

A Clown in this Dress may be honester far

Than a Courtier who struts in his Garter and Star.

Tho' his Hands are so dawb'd they're not fit to be seen,

The Hands of his Betters are not very clean;

A Palm more polite may as dirtily deal;

Gold, in handling, will stick to the Fingers like Meal.
