"This Day did Richard my Brother Wed Emily Hope," he records, after a six-months' silence. "All say 'tis a most Noble Mating. My Mother in a Gown from London Town, & our Finest Gems, enow to make a Dutchess envious of a Carolina Lady. My Father in high Spiritts. "I danc'd with the Bridesmaids, but Salut'd not the Bride, the Which noted Madame Jezebel.
Merrily moves the dance along; Said she, "Sir, to dance I should like very well," My Lord-Lieutenant so free and young. They danc'd to the left, and they danc'd to the right, Merrily moves the dance along; And her troth the fair damsel bestow'd on the knight, My Lord-Lieutenant so free and young. "Now what shall I fetch you, mademoiselle?"
This was the net we danc'd in for several years. But no wonder we were dupes," whimsically adds Colley, "while our master was a lawyer." And a very commonplace, foxy and inartistic lawyer he was, too, with his fondness for money bags and his willingness to oblige the town with anything it wanted.
The poet Cowley, in speaking of the unproductiveness of those pursuits connected with Wit and Fancy, says beautifully "Where such fairies once have danc'd, no grass will ever grow;" but, unfortunately, thorns will grow there; and he who walks unsteadily among such thorns as now beset the once enchanted path of Sheridan, ought not, after all, to be very severely criticised.
A prudent Man would reserve himself Good-facks, I danc'd so on my Wedding-day, that when I came to Bed, to my Shame be it spoken, I fell fast asleep, and slept till morning. L. Ful. Where was your Wisdom then, Sir Cautious? But I know what a wise Woman ought to have done. Sir Feeb.
