From a Brother's Advice to his sisters.  (Lately published.)
The salutary advice given by this gentleman to his sisters,
is conveyed in a very pleasing manner . . . [5 lines]
for tho' you paint an inch thick, as Hamlet says, you must,
if you live long enough, come to this favour at last; . . .
[middle of next column]  The longest day you live, my
lasses, eat, and drink, and laugh, and play, and dance, and
sing, and be merry. . . [11 lines]  Tho' your faces be like
gridirons, from grinning; and your plump selves as fat as
Falstaff, from laughing: by the jolly, side-holding, onion-
hating God of joy I swear, I will not scold you!. . .
