I said to my heart , between sleeping and wakihg , " Thou wild thing , that always are leaping or riehing , What black , brown , or fair , in what clime , in what nation , By turns has not taught thee a pit-a-patation V Thus accused , the wild thing gave this sober reply : — " See th £ heart without motion , though Celia pass by ! jftot the beauty she has , not the wit that slie borrows ,
Give the eye any joys , or the heart any sorrows . " WhSn our Sappho appears—she , whose wit feo refined I am forced to applaud with the rest of ihaiikiiid—
-Whatever she says is with spirit and fire ; Ev'ry word I attend , but I only admire . " Prudentia as vainly would put in her claim , Ever gazing on Heaven , though man is her aim ; 'Tis love , not devotion , that turns up h ^ r eyes—Those stars of this world are too good for the skies . " But Chloe so lively , so easy , so fair , Her wit so genteel , without art , without care ; When she comes in my way—the motion , the pain , The leapings , the achings , return all again . "
O wonderful creature ! a woman of reason ! Never grave out of pride , neyef gay put of sejisdii ; J When so ^ asy to , guess , who this angel should be , Would one think Mrs Howard ne ' er dr & amt it was she ?
, She same to hie house one day , would not be denied by the porter , and bursting into his room , threw down a purse full of gold , eiclbirriing in tears , " There are my wretched earnings—take them—and may God bless you . * ' Saying which , she departed . There is a mystery in the story ; for what could Bolingbroke want with a purse of gold , and from such a quarter ? But there is possibly a truth of tome kind in it , and evidence that he had a better heart to deal with than his own .
