A Reasonable Affliction: Another (Her Eye-brow-Box)
From Poems on Several Occasions (1718)
Relationships
HER Eye-brow-Box one Morning lost,
(The best of Folks are oft'nest crost)
Sad Helen thus to Jenny said,
Her careless but afflicted Maid ;
Put me to Bed then, wretched Jane :
Alas ! when shall I rise again ?
I can behold no Mortal now :
For what's an Eye without a Brow ?
