LINES WROTE BY MISS JENNY HAMILTON, SOME TIME BEFORE HER
MARRIAGE WITH MR. MORE, TO HER FRIEND MISS DUCK
Would you think it, my Duck, for the fault I will own,
Your Jenny at last is so covetous grown,
For millions if fortune would lavishly pour,
Yet I should be wretched if I had not More.
As gay as I am, could I spend half my days
In dances and operas, ridottas and plays,
Her fate your poor Jenny with fears would deplore,
For alas! my poor girl, what are these without More?
