CRABBE: _The Learned Boy._
=Affectation.= There affectation, with a sickly mien, Shows in her cheek the roses of eighteen; Practis'd to lisp, and hang the head aside; Faints into airs, and languishes with pride; On the rich quilt sinks with becoming woe, Wrapt in a gown, for sickness, and for show. 45 POPE: _R. of the Lock,_ Canto iv., Line 31. =Affection.= Why, she would hang on him, As if increase of appetite had grown By what it fed on. 46 SHAKS.: _Hamlet,_ Act i., Sc. 2. Affection is a coal that must be cool'd, Else, suffer'd, it will set the heart on fire. 47 SHAKS.: _Venus and A.,_ Line 387. =Affliction.= |
