No wonder ’twould his eyes annoy,

Monkbarns himself would never quote

“Sir Robert Sibbald,” “Gordon,” “Roy,”

Or “Stukely” for a long-tail’d Coat.

Jackets may do to ride a race,

Or row in, when one’s in a boat;

But, in the Boudoir, sure, for grace

There’s nothing like Dick’s long-tail’d Coat.

Of course, in climbing up a tree,

On terra firma, or afloat.
