Сторінка 25 - tis his fancy to run; At night he reclines on his Thetis's breast. So when I am wearied with wandering all day, To thee, my delight, in the evening I come: No matter what beauties I saw in my way: They were but my visits, but thou art my home.

He gave me a list of their names as he laid them on...
Сторінка 136 - ... do not suppose my happiness proceeds from my being married, any further than that I enjoy title, rank and liberty, by bearing Lord Besford's name. We do not disagree because we seldom meet. He pursues his pleasure one way, I seek mine another, and our dispositions being very opposite, they are sure never to interfere with each other. I am, I give you my word, a very unexceptionable wife and can say, what few women of quality would be able to do that spoke truth, that I never indulged myself with...
