SOLUTION.
[1]
  To guess your riddle, gallant sir,
  Four dames in council sat;
  So various their opinions were,
  That long was the debate.
[2]
  One said 'twas music play'd with skill
  That caus'd all this emotion;
  Another thought it was a pill,
  A third, it was a potion.
[3]
  The fourth was quite amaz'd to hear
  The ladies talk such stuff;
  Shew'd them the thing was very clear,
  And took--a pinch of snuff.
