The Courtier’s gone, that with his Miss
Supp’d at his House on Christmass Peas;
Spending as much in two Hours stay,
As keeps a Troop of Horse a Day.

Contracts th' expensive Bill of Fare,
And wears her strong Suit a whole Year:
The slight and fickle Age is past;
And Cloaths, as well as Fashions last.
