Стр. 74 - Thank heaven, of late, my dear mother, my face is Not a little regarded at all public places : For I ride in a chair with my hands in a muff, And have bought a silk coat, and embroidered the cuff; But the weather was cold, and the coat it was thin, So the tailor advised me to line it with skin.
Стр. 34 - No city, dear Mother, this city excels In charming sweet sounds both of fiddles and bells; I thought, like a fool, that they only would ring For a wedding, or judge, or the birth of a King; But I found 'twas for me that the...
Стр. 101 - All the while her mamma was expressing her joy, That her daughter the morning so well could employ. — Now why should the Muse, my dear mother, relate The misfortunes that fall to the lot of the great?

Стр. 39 - I very well know Both my subject and verse is exceedingly low; But if any great critic finds fault with my letter, He has nothing to do but to send you a better.
Стр. 30 - tis a fine day for walking— Sad news in the papers — G — d knows who's to blame ! The colonies seem to be all in a flame — This stamp act, no doubt, might be good for the crown, But I fear tis a pill that will never go down — What can Portugal mean ! — is she going to stir up Convulsions and heats in the bowels of Europe ? 'Twill be fatal if England relapses again, From the ill blood and humours of Bourbon and Spain.
Стр. 99 - So polite all the time, that he ne'er touch'da bit, While she ate up his rolls and applauded his wit : For they tell me that men of true taste, when they treat, Should talk a great deal, but they never should eat: And if that be the fashion, I never will give Any grand entertainment as long as I live: For I'm of opinion 'tis proper to cheer The stomach and bowels, as well as the ear.
Стр. 108 - A sum, my dear mother, far heavier yet, Captain CORMORANT won when I learn'd lansquenet; Two hundred I paid him, and five am in debt. For the five I had nothing to do but to write, For the Captain was very well bred and polite, And took, as he saw my expences were great, My bond, to be paid on the Clodpole estate; And asks nothing more while the money is lent, Than interest paid him at twenty per cent.
Стр. 38 - To part with their Money as free as a Lord.' — So I thank'd the Musicians, and gave them a Guinea, Tho' the Ladies and Gentlemen call'd me a Ninny; And I'll give them another the next Time they play, For Men of good Fortune encourage, they say...
