By help of corsets, stays and boddices,
We transform dowdies into goddesses.[20]
Nice ladies’ minds we manufacture,
Cast in a mould without a fracture,
And sell the precious things in lots,
An art we learn’d of Doctor Watts.
And o’er the shop where these are made,
In nine inch letters is portray’d,
Fine female faculties form’d and furnished,
With genteel educations burnished.
