The following copy of verses is handed about, said to be the
production of the greatest lady in this nation, and will
serve (if so) not only to convince us of her extraordinary
proficiency in the English language, but also of the
greatness of her natural genius.
  Genteel is my Damon, engaging his air,
  His face, like the morn, is both ruddy and fair;
  Soft love sits enthron'd in the beam of his eyes,
  He's manly, yet tender, he's fond and yet wise.
