THE NAKED TRUTH.
Were fortune more civil, and business more brisk, 
My horse not so phrenzy, or subject to frisk, 
Should I chance to set eye on a pretty young lass, 
Not too fond of dear self, and too oft at her glass, 
. . . [10 lines]
Could I find such a fair one, though hobby should prance, 
And kick up his heels, or commence a new dance, 
. . . [18 more lines]
