By her each latent spring is seen, The workings foul of secret spleen ; The guilt that sculks in fair pretence, Or folly veil'd in specious sense. And much her righteous spirit grieves, When worthlessness the world deceives ; Whether the erring crowd commends Some patriot sway'd by private ends ; Or...
第 107 頁 - Were she not ugly, she would him despise ; Nor would he marry her if he had eyes. To their defects they 're for the match in debt, And, but for faults on both sides, ne'er had met.
