She said; then raging to Sir Plume repairs,

And bids her beau demand the ntvish’d hairs,

Sir Plume (of amber smiff-box justly vain,

And the nice conduct of a clouded cane)

With earnesl eyes and round unlhinliing face ,

He ßrst the smiff-box open d, then the case

And thus brolie out — My Lord , why, what the devil ?

Z — ds! damn the lock! foregad , you 7nust be civil?Plague on t 3 tis past a jest — n ag , prilhee , pox!

Give her the hair — spoke, and rapp'd his box.
