...for My Master, Bad As I Have

Let A Man Do What He Will By A Single Woman, The World Is Encouragingly Apt To Think Marriage A Sufficient Amends.

But Let Not Those Worthy Young Women, Who May Think Themselves Destined To A Single Life, Repine Over-much At Their Lot; Since, Possibly, If They Have Had No Lovers, Or Having Had One, Two, Or Three, Have Not Found A Husband, They Have Had Rather A Miss Than A Loss, As Men Go.

There Is But One Pride Pardonable; That Of Being Above Doing A Base Or Dishonorable Action.

From Sixteen To Twenty, All Women, Kept In Humor By Their Hopes And By Their Attractions, Appear To Be Good-natured.

Those Who Can Least Bear A Jest Upon Themselves, Will Be Most Diverted With One Passed On Others.
