XXVIII.

Stern and erect the buskin’d dame

In high dramatick wrath appears,

With energy supports her claim

And seems to thunder in his ears;

While the inveigling comick Fair,

With aspect sly and artful air

To draw her favourite to her arms

Strains every nerve; but as she strives,

With the sweet attitude contrives

270 T’ impart the stronger influence to her charms--
