RPISTLE FROM MISS BRIDGET LIZARD, IN hATH.
t TO HER COUSIN, MISS SUSAN LIZARD,
' PENZANCE, CORNWALL.
.....-....
. . You retufted, dear SUSAN, I'd fend you a line'
With a proper account of th . journey of mine ;
i Of all that I heard and I taw in this City,
.4 The refort of the *lever, the handforne, the witty.
The fork anti the healthy, die great, and the little,
From the Duke et Mount Stars to a Burnaby Brittle :
, But before that I touch co the long or the dense,
• Pray bow are all friends whom I left at Penzance ?
Thu' with all the fine folk 'tis the &Won, I find,
To feel for abaft/ea," out of fight, out of mind,"
Which, with other grange things, made me epee my eyes,
' As a manitcft way to expects my furprize.
I
In the firft place, dear Cue, when the chafe fet me dawn,
A ftr.nger, forfooth, in this elegant town,
In feareh of a lodging I fpeedily ftray'd ;
. ?ram the top of lon:Wows to the lowly Punde,
When the price I was alled, to my utter vexation..
Would have hosted With convenience our whole gestration.
But I could not conieniently lie In the ibuct.
So was glad (the' fo doer.) With a lodging to meet.
This matter decandu'd, Fleet my maid Hetty,
To announce my'aeaval to tkor Lady Betty,
Expelling hertaSip would come to me ftnig,
And receive me, my dear, with a true Corn& hugs
But, alas ! many days pals'd along with reg&t,
Before I'd a fight of our dear Lady Bet,
t Tho the oftee that we gave at her huieand's eiedtidila
~ She Paid would enfure us her Cea'rowit proteiftlan ;
1 Yet coolly enough did we Meet alter all,
Tho' the fad Ihe'd chaproee'nie te concert and ball.
'lls the way of the world, I told ;'Co spin •
1 I enlifted once more In her L'adyides traW.
Behold me now enter, with (pint it'd pride,
Theft circles of ton after Which we have figli'd,
itDffdaining the few who true hapithads fink
' And running the race with the theitlghtkli aid wet,
111 From Catch Clsh to Concert, froMßall to Hennas, •
My deft:avian oftElti will be very laconic ;
'
Complied in my hying, dear Conlin ;that we
Were ailed to the Cobh, and they gave us a Glees
And to the Harmonic we watt, full *trued,
What could produce harmony would be ?rowed •
But what can I fey of this depot chow, .
Divinely a:iodated by •-•••••— and Co. . .
Wit% their para., the Prince of --•—• coming from toWn?
(Pep are lied tolligejf , and go eafily down.)
Why, all that is known Otitis tetfeesi mating,
Is what they nun in, was &cues and eeriest, k
And while at the Catch Club the mutts were all edited,
They paid at the other before they were fasted.
Which proves the old proverb that all of us know,
That money makes motes and eke fiddles to go.
I with from my heart you your BRIDOZT could viesk. '
Fell drda'd for a ball, from her bead to her shoe.
I was fent to the Hoiilyce to rig me, good Conlin,
And I that wore ye: Alcoa:. late by the deem,
l Now wear Only me, and that festally made,
Whirl finely likovers the light and the Rade-.
I But, what will furprize you, tho' given to roam,
• The Ladies delight for to Lay they're at home,
A fignal for crowds to affentbka t night,
t In order to who're dww.flis delight.
1 In sort, my dear Se/AN, here's ponies sod roots,
'The winners all (miles, and the totem all pouta ;
ti Yet there who Invite, the wake kittens feel,
As the candlefficks always a treater. reveal;
Aod I'm told by my Lady, 'twill often fake
To pay for the jellies, the cards, and the ice.
. And now, dearth Suss x, adieu fora while.
Year heart is to boneft, to free from all guile ;
You'll fear for your IMIDO LT. What talents, the' (mall,
• Sbe hopes to improve. and to (Alien "Asa
• And if this epiftle Rudd pleafe at Penzance,
To bear from me &only you'll nand a good chanite
And now for the poft, I am all in a fidget,
' Which concludes me, my dear, your affalketate
Both, sib Foirosey,clios. fetiorr.
