A fourth's so pale she fears she's going to faint, A fifth's look's vulgar, dowdyish, and suburban, A sixth's white silk has got a yellow taint, A seventh's thin Muslin surely will be her bane, And lo!

'Tis known, at least it should be, that throughout All countries of the Catholic persuasion, Some weeks before Shrove Tuesday comes about, The People take their fill of recreation, And buy repentance, ere they grow devout, However high their rank, or low their station, With fiddling, feasting, dancing, drinking, masking, And other things which may be had for asking.

From the rich peasant cheek of ruddy bronze, And large black eyes that flash on you a volley Of rays that say a thousand things at once, To the high Dama's brow, more melancholy, But clear, and with a wild and liquid Glance, Heart on her lips, and Soul within her eyes, Soft as her clime, and Sunny as her skies. LXXI.They lock them up, and veil and guard them daily; They scarcely can behold their male relations, So that their moments do not pass so gaily As is supposed the case with Northern nations; Confinement, too, must make them look quite palely; And as the Turks abhor long conversations, Their days are either pass'd in doing nothing, Or bathing, nursing, making love, and clothing. Shakespeare described the Sex in Desdemona As very fair, but yet suspect in fame, And to this day from Venice to Verona Such matters may be probably the same, Except that since those times was never known a Husband whom mere Suspicion could inflame To suffocate a wife no more than twenty, Because she had a 'Cavalier Servente.' The Demagogues of fashion; all below Is frail; how easily the World is lost By Love, or War, and now and then by Frost! And up and down the long Canals they go, And under the Rialto shoot along By night and day, all paces, swift or slow, And round the theatres, a sable throng, They wait in their dusk livery of woe,--But not to them do woeful things belong, For sometimes they contain a deal of fun, Like Mourning Coaches when the funeral’s done.

XLIV.I love the language, that soft bastard Latin, Which melts like kisses from a female mouth, And sounds as if it should be writ on satin, With syllables which breathe of the sweet South, And gentle liquids gliding all so pat in That not a single accent seems uncouth--Like our harsh Northern whistling, grunting guttural, Which we're obliged to hiss, and spit, and sputter all. XCIV.What answer Beppo made to these demands Is more than I know. LVII.Laura, when dress'd, was (as I sang before) A pretty woman as was ever seen, Fresh as the Angel o'er a new Inn door, Or frontispiece of a new Magazine, With all the Fashions which the last month wore, Colour'd, and silver paper leaved between That and the title-page, for fear the Press Should soil with parts of speech the parts of dress. Why I thank God for that is no great matter; I have my reasons, you no doubt suppose, And as perhaps they would not highly flatter, I'll keep them for my life (to come) in prose; I fear I have a little turn for Satire, And yet, methinks, the older that one grows Inclines us more to laugh than scold, though Laughter Leaves us no doubly serious shortly after.

He took them not; he very often waits, And leaves old Sinners to be young ones’ baits. Much wonder paints The Lady's changing cheek, as well it might, But where an Englishwoman sometimes faints, Italian females don't do so outright; They only call a little on their Saints, And then come to themselves, almost or quite, Which saves much hartshorn, salts, and sprinkling faces, And cutting stays, as usual in such cases.

The moment Night with dusky mantle covers The skies (and the more duskily the better), The Time--less liked by husbands than by lovers-- Begins, and Prudery flings aside her fetter, And Gaiety on restless tiptoe hovers, Giggling with all the Gallants who beset her; And there are Songs and quavers, roaring, humming, Guitars, and every other sort of strumming. Above all. XLIII.I also like to dine on Becaficas, To see the Sun set, sure he'll rise tomorrow, Not through a misty morning twinkling weak as A drunken man's dead eye in maudlin sorrow, But with all Heaven t' himself; the Day will break as Beauteous as cloudless, nor be forced to borrow That sort of farthing candlelight which glimmers Where reeking London's smoky Caldron simmers.

LXXXV.Laura, who knew it would not do at all To meet the daylight after seven hours' sitting Among three thousand people at a ball, To make her curtsy thought it right and fitting; The Count was at her elbow with her shawl, And they the room were on the point of quitting, When lo! However, he got off by this evading, Or else the people would perhaps have shot him; And thus at Venice landed to reclaim His wife, religion, house, and Christian name.

LXIV.They went to the Ridotto ('tis a place To which I mean to go myself to-morrow, Just to divert my thoughts a little space, Because I’m rather hippish, and may borrow Some spirits, guessing at what kind of face May lurk beneath each mask; and as my sorrow Slackens its pace sometimes, I'll make or find Something shall leave it half an hour behind).
