Alexander Pope - On a certain Lady at Court

Alexander Pope - On a certain Lady at Court

I know the thing that's most uncommon; br (Envy be silent and attend!) br I know a Reasonable Woman, br Handsome and witty, yet a Friend. br br Not warp'd by Passion, aw'd by Rumour, br Not grave thro' Pride, or gay thro' Folly, br An equal Mixture of good Humour, br And sensible soft Melancholy. br br `Has she no Faults then (Envy says) Sir?' br Yes she has one, I must aver: br When all the World comspires to praise her, br The Woman's deaf, and does not hear.
