Sir Thomas Urquhart, the glorious translator of Rabelais, is reported to have died of laughter on hearing of the Restoration of Charles II. p. 410 Boremes. 'They were a List of Words that rhyme to one another drawn up by another Hand and given to a Poet, who was to make a Poem to the Rhymes in the same Order that they were placed on the List. Addison, Spectator, No. 60 . p. 413 Flute Doux.
You have no cause to doubt, you can so easily acquit your self; but I, what shall I do? who can no more imagine who shou'd write those Boremes, than who I shall love next, if I break off with Charmante. Flor. If he be a Man of Honour, Cousin, when a Maid protests her Innocence Bell. Ay, but he's a Man of Wit too, Cousin, and knows when Women protest most, they likely lye most. Ela.
Char. Have I not cause? Who writ these Boremes? Bell. Some kind assisting Deity, for ought I know. Char. Some kind assisting Coxcomb, that I know. The Ink's yet wet, the Spark is near I find. Bell. Ah, Malheureuse! How was I mistaken in this Man? Char. Mistaken! What, did you take me for an easy Fool to be impos'd upon?
