If while the Mind was in her Leg,
The Dance affected nimble ;
Old , bewitch'd at Sixty one,
Calls for , and .
In public Mask, or private Ball,
From , to ,
All Christmas long away She trudges;
Trips it with Prentices and Judges:
In vain her Children urge her Stay;
And Age or Palsey bar the Way.
But if those Images prevail,
Which whilom did affect the Tail;
She still reviews the ancient Scene;
Forgets the forty Years between:
Awkwardly gay, and odly merry,
Her Scarf pale Pink, her Head-Knot Cherry;
O'er heated with  Rage,
She cheats her Son, to wed her Page.
