Rh No treacherous powder bids Conjecture quake;

No stiff-starched stays make meddling fingers ache;

(Transferred to those ambiguous things that ape

Goats in their visage, women in their shape;)

No damsel faints when rather closely pressed,

But more caressing seems when most caressed;

Superfluous Hartshorn, and reviving Salts,

Both banished by the sovereign cordial "Waltz."
