The cap, the stays, the high-heel’d shoe,

The ’kerchief and the bonnet too,

With apron as the lily white,

Put all the male attire to flight—

The culotte, waistcoat, and cravat,

The bushy wig, and gold-trimm’d hat.

Ye gods! behold! what high burlesque,

Jane Shore and Juliet thus grotesque!


King Charles one night, jocund and gay,
