RIDDLES. 3l

And yet we must divided be,
To prove of any use;

And then you every day may see
The wonders we produce.

The most uncouth and shapeless mass
To form full well we know;

We ornament the sprightly lass,
We decorate the beau.

Ladies, you must to us apply,

J
For every robe you wear ;

"Tis we the cut and shape supply,
And make it debonair.

That pretty trifle too we fill,
Yelep’d a chiffoniére :

And now, if you have any skill,
Our name you may declare.

 

RIDDLE LXIII.
Wwiti monks and with hermits, I chiefly reside,
Irom courts and from camps at a distance ;
The ladies, who ne’er could my presence abide,
To banish me join their assistance.
