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?

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.

5 ページ - 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.
