But the fruit that can fall without shaking Indeed is too mellow for me.
More from Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
- Satire should, like a polished razor keen, Wound with a touch that's scarcely felt or seen.
- Be plain in dress, and sober in your diet; In short, my deary, kiss me, and be quiet.
- And we meet, with champagne and a chicken, at last.
- Let this great maxim be my virtue's guide,- In part she is to blame that has been tried: He comes too near that comes to be denied.
