With the Prince of Parthia, a tragedy

expand section 

Before the giddy throng, which now advanc'd,
With mincing step gay Affectation danc'd,
Then sudden stop'd, and staring on the Croud
She frown'd, then smil'd, and giggl'd out aloud.
The num'rous Throng attending round the Fair,
Mimick'd her gestures, and assum'd her air.
