A sort OF demi-nul; VINO . God
In Iinglats flashing from u hood,
And seemed 10 seek our herO's glances.
The count, delighted with her air,
Drew near the better to behold her
Her I run was siAht, her Skin was fair,
And maidt MOOD, you well might swear,
BreHtheG from the dimples IN her shoulder
He spoke; she answered with a grace
Thai showed the girl no va gar heircss;
And, II the features one may trace,
In voices, hers betrayed a lace

A beauty and a bei-eSprit!
A scholar tOO-'tWa as plain 10 see
VINO ever saw a girl SO clever
Her taste he veptured to explore
In bOoks-the graver and the lighter
And mentioned auth. rs by the score;

She always chose his favoritc writer.
Whatever topic he might name,
Their minds seemed strangely sympathetic
or court ship, marriage, fashion, fame,
Their views ana feelings were tue same

And eat IN hungry NJ our leisure"
I'm hungry too" she said, aud went
without the l. asJ attempt TO cozen,
Like ladies' who reuse, rtlcnt,

The Count was really half dementei
le Kissed her haLd and rounuly swore
He loved her perfectly land, more
