EPIGRAM XXVII.

[Virtues, and fashions, jointly share]

QUÆRE PEREGRINUM.

Virtues, and fashions, jointly share
All England's pride, all England's care;
From foreign fops, and coxcomb courts,
Fashions, by wholesale, she imports;
But let it, to her praise, be known,
Old England's Virtues, are her own!
