Rais'd of themselves, their genuine charms they boast, And those who paint them truest praise them most. - Joseph Addison

I have somewhere met with the epitaph of a charitable man, which has very much pleased me. I cannot recollect the words, but the sense of it is to this purpose; What I spent I lost; what I possessed is left to others; what I gave away remains with me.

Loveliest of women! heaven is in thy soul, Beauty and virtue shine forever round thee, Bright'ning each other! thou art all divine!

These widows, sir, are the most perverse creatures in the world.
