A Reasonable Affliction: Another (From Her Own Native France)
From Poems on Several Occasions (1718)
Social Commentaries
FROM her own Native France as old Alison past.
She reproach'd English Nell with Neglect or with Malice,
That the Slattern had left, in the Hurry and Hast,
Her Lady's Complexion, and Eye-brows at Calais.
