Excerpt from Classic Tales, Serious and Lively, Vol. 4: With Critical Essays on the Merits and Reputation of the Authors Annate, beneath a plain country coif', bound back negligently h'er ebon hair. Two large blue eyes sparkled beneath her long eye elashes, and expressed most innocently every 9thing which the dull eyes Of our old Coquettes endeavour to ex pre s. Her rosy tl1ps seemed to solicit to be kissed. Her complexion, ta'nned by the sun, was enlivened by that light shade of purple which colours the down of the peach. Every part of her which the veil of modesty concealed from the rays of noon, effaced the whiteness of the lily. We thought we saw the head of a lively Brunette on the shoulders of a beautiful Blonde.
