Deportment.

THe Day grows fair, your Coach, or 〈◊〉〈◊〉 may wait, And you may walk, if graceful in your Gate. See how R—h displays her stately Mind, How, in the Pride of Steps, the haughty Wind Swells her loose Robes before her, and behind. I—n there, trips nimbly ore the Park. As if she fear'd to dissappoint some spark. C—l demurely on the Ground does look, As if she measur'd every Step she took.

That hasty H—there Walks, as if she ran, And whisks her Eyes, and brandishes her Fan. The Tall Walk slowly, others Walk apace, Each movement, every gesture has its grace, Men are not always Charm'd with but a Face. Consult that Gate, which suits your Stature best, Walk 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to please your self, nor doubt the rest.
