Where he the foplings busy spied

Effacing ev’ry mark of man:

Thinking to win the softer sex

By making themselves softer still.

“Ah!” says our Goat, “ah! ah! I’feggs,

I’ll be in fashion, that I will!”

He seats himself, the Ape’s not slow,

But tucks the cloth in, and then lathers;

When lo! stalk’d by a goodly row,

A solemn train of old Church Fathers!
