Display'd so much of leg, or more of neck,

Than thou ambrosial Waltz, when first the moon

Beheld thee twirling to a Saxon tune!

To you, ye husbands of ten years whose brows

Ache with the annual tributes of a spouse;

To you of nine years less, who only bear

The budding sprouts of those that you shall wear,

With added ornaments around them roll'd

Of native brass, or law-awarded gold:

To you, ye matrons, ever on the watch
