1-8 Mar 1731:11 (584)
Since my last in which I hope I have vindicated the ladies
fine gentlemen, the beaux, rakes & devotees, I have now
fall'n in love with my old antagonist Generosa, who has
arriv'd to those mature years, which crowd in between twenty
and thirty, at what time in my humble opinion, the fair sex
should consider beauty as a commodity which goes off best in
a proper season.
Now, if you think the following lines. . . [6 lines]
Ignavus. P.S. Pray, sir, tell the world, Generosa will not
make measure, and that her poetical name is Caelia.
TO CAELIA.
E'er the full vigour of the rip'ning year
Unbinds the glebe, and bids the rose appear;
Imaginary scenes our hopes employ,
'Till the soft season gives th' exstatick joy.
