Admiring fops about her crowding prefs; Hampden himself delivers their addrefs, Which the, accepting with a nice disdain, Owns them her fubjects, and begins to reign: Fair queen of Fopland is her royal style; Fopland the greatest part of this great Nature did ne'er fo equally divide A female heart, 'twixt piety and pride: Her waiting-maids prevent the peep of day, And, all in order, on her toilet lay Prayer-books, patch-boxes, fermon notes, and paint,
At once t' improve the finner and the faint. Farewell, friend Moll; expect no more from me; But if you would a full defcription fee, You'll find her fomewhere in the Litany, With pride, vain-glory, and hypocrify.
