LADY H⸺ to Mrs. P⸺.
Said old Lady H⸺, once a blooming young wench,
But whose head’s now adorn’d with gray hairs,
“I admire the great comfort and taste which the French
Combine in their fashion of chairs;
For English, our frames are both simple and neat;
Yet the French in past times were so puff’d,
That our bottoms were never consider’d complete,
Until sent o’er to France to be stuff’d.”
