Страница 298 - Favours to none, to all she smiles extends ; Oft she rejects, but never once offends. « Bright as the sun, her eyes the gazers strike, And like the sun, they shine on all alike. Yet graceful ease, and sweetness void of pride, Might hide her faults, if belles had faults to hide : If to her share some female errors fall, Look on her face, and you'll forget 'em all.
Страница 63 - The Dean is dead : (Pray what is trumps ?) ' Then, Lord have -mercy on his soul ! ' (Ladies, I'll venture for the vole.) "' Six deans, they say, must bear the pall : 47 ' (I wish I knew what king to call) ' Madam, your husband will attend ' The funeral of so good a friend.
