第 159 頁 - With all the charms of labour'd ease ; Through looks and nods with meaning fraught, To teach what she was never taught. 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...
