Cambuscan; or, The Squire's Tale - Part 60
Return we now, invited to the hall,
Where fairer objects our attendance claim;
Such as are envy'd and admir'd by all,
The graceful courtier, and the beauteous dame;
What, tho' no dances fir'd the virgin chaste,
Less charming did the mild engager seem?
What, tho' no smiles the courtier's brow defac'd,
Less worthy was his honour of esteem?
To us, indeed, such manners wild may show,
Where dress creates a Belle, and vanity a Beau.
