Página 63 - What then remains, but well our power to use, And keep good humour still whate'er we lose ? And trust me, dear, good humour can prevail, When airs, and flights, and screams, and scolding fail. Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll ; Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.
