| Whispers like Jew MOSES | B |
| Padded collars thick cravats | B |
| And cheeks as red as roses | B |

| Faces painted pink and brown | C |
| Waistcoats strip'd and gaudy | D |
| Sleeves thrice doubled thick with down | C |
| And straps to brace the body | D |

| Curricles so low that they | F |
| Along the ground seem dragging | E |
| Hacks that weary half the day | F |
| In Rotten row are fagging | E |
| - | |
| Bull dogs grim and boxers bold | G |
| In noble trains attending | E |
| Science which is bought with gold | G |

| Hair cords and plain rings to shew | H |
| Many a LADY's favour | I |
| BOUGHT by ev'ry vaunting beau | J |
| With mischievous endeavour | I |
| - | |
| Such is giddy FASHION's son | C |
| Such a MODERN LOVER | I |
| Oh wou'd their reign had ne'er begun | C |
| And may it soon BE OVER | I |
