79 페이지 - Venus, and the painter was desired not to be too frugal of his diamonds in her stomacher and hair. Her two little ones were to be as Cupids by her side, while I, in my gown and band, was to present her with my books on the Whistonian controversy. Olivia would be drawn as an Amazon, sitting upon a bank of flowers, dressed in a green Joseph, richly laced with gold, and a whip in her hand. Sophia was to be a shepherdess, with as many sheep as the painter could put in for nothing ; and Moses was to be...
36 페이지 - Each hour a mercenary crowd With richest proffers strove : Among the rest young Edwin bowed, But never talked of love. * In humble, simplest habit clad, No wealth or power had he ; Wisdom and worth were all he had, But these were all to me.
