What mighty Sums have Velvet-Couches cost? Gay.

Major PACK’s Character of Voiture and his Writings, viz.
Monsieur Voiture is, I own, the only Author in the World who can always put me into good Humour. The inimitable Turns of his Wit, even upon the most Barren Subjects; his Droll-Mirth, his Quotations so happily applied, free from any of that Pedantry so offensive in most Others, who mingle the learned Languages with their own; his Skill in that hardest Part of Good-Breeding, Complimenting the Ladies, (where he never runs into Common Place;) and Flattering the Great (where he never descends into Servility or Meanness.) In short, the Generosity as well as Gaiety of his Soul, runs through all he writes, and makes one not only read him with Admiration but Affection.]
