TO A LADY WHO MISBEHAVED AT CHURCH.
Madam, when in a dancing room
You may some little airs assume:
O'er tea or coffee, or quadrille,
May chat and titter as you will.
But madam, when you are at prayers,
You ought to lay aside those airs.
Such carriage when the parson's reading,
Shews want of grace and want of breeding.
