"Lady. O proper Stuff!

"This is the very Painting of your Fear; "Oh, these Flaws and Starts

"Would well become

"A Woman's Story at a Winter's Fire,

"Why do you make fuch Faces?

When all's done,

"You look but on a Stool.

"Behold! look! lo! how say you? [Pointing to the Ghoft.

"Why, what care I! if thou canst nod, speak too. "If Charnel-houses and our Graves must fend

"Thofe, that we bury, back; our Monuments "Shall be the Maws of Kites.
