[In article on barbers, shavers, and trimmers, in politics:]
. . . The Vicars of Bray, and those who change their
principles with the times, may justly be referred to this
class. But the most odious shavers and trimmers of this
kind, are a certain set of females, called (by the polite
world) Jilts. I cannot give my readers a more perfect idea
of these than by quoting the following lines of the poet.
Fatally fair are they, and in their smiles
The graces, little loves, and young desires inhabit:
But they are false luxurious in their appetites,
And all the heav'n they hope for, is variety.
. . . [5 more lines, signed] Rowe's Fair Penitent.
