XLVIII + 

To the assembly her they bear. + 

There the confusion, pressure, heat, + 

The crash of music, candles’ glare + 

And rapid whirl of many feet, + 

The ladies’ dresses airy, light, + 

The motley moving mass and bright, + 

Young ladies in a vasty curve, + 

To strike imagination serve. + 

’Tis there that arrant fops display + 

Their insolence and waistcoats white + 

And glasses unemployed all night; + 

Thither hussars on leave will stray + 

To clank the spur, delight the fair⁠— + 

And vanish like a bird in air. + 
