To her all seem’d mysterious, all allied

To avarice, meanness, folly, craft, and pride;

Wearied with thought, she breathed the garden’s air,

Then came the laughing Lass, and join’d her thore.

“My sweetest friend has dwelt with us a week,

And does she love us? be sincere and speak;

My Aunt you cannot - Lord! how I should hate

To be like her, all misery and state;

Proud, and yet envious, she disgusted sees

All who are happy, and who look at ease.
