'Twas thus laden that I enter'd the dingle, and came on the sad sight therein. I set down the ham as a thing to be asham'd of, and bar'd my head. The girl lifted her face, and turning, all white and tragical, saw me. "My father is dead, sir." I stoop'd and pil'd a heap of fresh snow over the blood stains. There was no intent in this but to hide the pity that chok'd me.
I keep the solemn Promise I made you, in writing to you the State of my Mind, after your kind Admonition; and will endeavour to get the better of this Fondness, which makes me so much her humble Servant, that I am almost asham'd to Subscribe my self Yours, T. D. 'There is no State of Life so Anxious as that of a Man who does not live according to the Dictates of his own Reason.
Asham'd he wou'd have turn'd away; But when he saw, by my dejected Eyes, I knew him, He sigh'd, and blusht, and heard me tell my Business: Then beg'd I wou'd be secret; for he vow'd his whole Repose and Life depended on my silence. Nor had I told it now, But that your Ladyship may find some speedy means to draw him from this desperate Condition. L. Ful. Heavens, is't possible? Bred.
For if asham'd I e'er could be Of my dear parents' low degree, What lot had been too mean for me, Unbless'd, unvirtuous PAMELA. Thrice happy may you ever be, Each one in his and her degree; And, sirs, whene'er you think of me, Pray for content to PAMELA. Pray for her wish'd content and peace; And rest assur'd she'll never cease, To pray for all your joys increase, While life is lent to PAMELA.
Pox on't, what Fools are we, we cou'd not know one another by Instinct? Scar. Well, well, dispute no more this clear Case, but let's hasten to your Mistresses. Cin. I'm asham'd to appear before Elaria. Char. And I to Bellemante. Scar.
Then on some mossy stone we'd sit us down, And watch the changing sky and shadows brown, That swiftly glided o'er the mead below, Or in some fancied form descended slow. How oft, well pleas'd each other to adorn, We stripped the blossoms from the fragrant thorn, Or caught the violet where, in humble bed, Asham'd its own sweets it hung its head.
Yes, Olinda, and you shall know its meaning; I love Alcander, and am not asham'd o'th' secret, But prithee do not tell him what I say. Oh, he's a man made up of those Perfections, Which I have often lik'd in several men; And wish'd united to compleat some one, Whom I might have the glory to o'ercome.
I am asham'd of what follow'd; for, what was never heard of till then, the boys came in with a bason of liquid perfumes, and first binding our legs, ancles and feet, with garlands, anointed them with it, and put the rest into the wine vessel and the lamps.
The Marble Statue Venus he mistook For fair Erminia, and such things he spoke, Such unheard passionate things, as e'en wou'd move The marble Statue's self to fall in love; He'd kiss its Breast, and say she kind was grown, And never mind, alas, 'twas senseless Stone; He took its Hand, and to his Mouth had laid it, But that it came not, and its stay betray'd it; Then would he blush, and all asham'd become, His Head declining, for awhile be dumb: His Arms upon his Breast across would lay, Then sensibly and calmly walk away; And in his walk a thousand things he said, Which I forgot, yet something with me staid; He did consult the nature of the Crime, And still concluded that 'twas just in him; He run o'er all his life, and found no act That was ungenerous in him, but this fact, From which the Justice took off the Disgrace, And might even for an act of Virtue pass; He did consult his Glory and his Pride; And whilst he did so, laid his grief aside; Then was as calm as e'er he seem'd to be.
Poor W . In the Key Lamb identifies W with Favell, who "left Cambridge because he was asham'd of his father, who was a house-painter there." Favell has already been mentioned in the essay on "Christ's Hospital." At Lincoln. The Lambs, as we have seen, came from Lincolnshire.
