Pagina 92 - Observe me, Sir Anthony. I would by no means wish a daughter of mine to be a progeny of learning ; I don't think so much learning becomes a young woman ; for instance, I would never let her meddle with Greek, or Hebrew, or Algebra, or Simony, or Fluxions, or Paradoxes, or such inflammatory branches of learning...
Pagina 108 - I'll tell you what, Jack — I mean, you dog — if you don't, by Abs. What, sir, promise to link myself to some mass of ugliness ! to Sir Anth.

Pagina 158 - How mortifying to remember the dear delicious shifts I used to be put to, to gain half a minute's conversation with this fellow !

Pagina 219 - That's very true indeed, Sir Peter; and, after having married you, I should never pretend to taste again, I allow.
Pagina 212 - tis very vulgar to print ; and, as my little productions are mostly satires and lampoons on particular people, I find they circulate more by giving copies in confidence to the friends of the parties.
