A correspondent remarks, no people are so merry in these
days, as those who are acknowledged by the public to have
done what they ought to be ashamed of.  The Merry Wives of
Windsor, two wanton widows, who have trepanned two raw,
weak, and inconsiderate youths, appeared decent, modest and
demure, while their arts and tricks were only suspected; but
since their simple swains have been persuaded by them to
published to the world what cool reflection made them wish
to conceal, they are industrious in making known to the
world, no people are so merry, so gay, and such fast friends
as the Merry Wives of Windsor. . .
