الصفحة 322 - Bless me! how quick! how odd!" said Miss Hunter, with a pouting look, which seemed to add — nobody carries me off! Mr. Beaumont looked duller than was becoming. Mrs. Beaumont applied herself to adjust the pretty curls of Miss Hunter's hair; and Mr. Palmer, in one of his absent fits, hummed aloud, as he walked up and down the room, '"And it's, Oh! what will become of me?

الصفحة 35 - WILL you hear a Spanish lady, How she woo'd an English man ? Garments gay, as rich as may be, Deck'd with jewels had she on ; Of a comely countenance and grace was she ; And by birth and parentage of high degree. As his prisoner there he kept her, In his hands her life did lie ; Cupid's bands did tie her faster, By the liking of...
الصفحة 178 - Thy lisping prattle and thy mincing gait, All thy false mimic fooleries I hate, For thou art Folly's counterfeit, and she Who is right foolish hath the better plea ; Nature's true Idiot I prefer to thee.— CUMBERLAND.
الصفحة 5 - Julia's a manager; she's born for rule; And knows her wiser husband is a fool ; Assemblies holds, and spins the subtle thread That guides the lover to his fair one's bed : For difficult amours can smooth the way, And tender letters dictate, or convey.
