He was dress'd last Tuesday night in an entire suit of French Canadian grey wool cloth, with broad shirt collar, with no necktie; long white hair, red face, full beard and moustache, and look'd as though he might weigh two hundred pounds. He had to be help'd and led every step. In five weeks more he will begin his seventy-second year. He is still writing a little.
We bought 24 of them, for a dress'd Doe-Skin, and so went on, through many Swamps, finding, this day, the long ragged Moss on the Trees, which we had not seen for above 600 Miles. In the Afternoon, we came upon the Banks of Pampticough, about 20 Miles above the English Plantations by Water, though not so far by Land.
Untroubled in his look, and untroubled in his breast, The knight the weed hath taken, and reverently hath kiss'd. "Now blessed be the moment, the messenger be blest! Much honour'd do I hold me in my lady's high behest; And say unto my lady, in this dear night-weed dress'd, To the best armed champion I will not veil my crest; But if I live and bear me well 'tis her turn to take the test."
At best He's but a caterpillar dress'd; The gaudy fop's his picture just. The second vice is lying; the first is running in debt. Lying rides upon debt's back. It is hard for an empty bag to stand upright. Creditors have better memories than debtors. Creditors are a superstitious sect, great observers of set days and times. The borrower is a slave to the lender, and the debtor to the creditor.
The Fur makes good Hats and Linings. The Skin dress'd makes fine Womens Shooes. He is long, slender, and every way shap'd like him. His Haunts are chiefly in the Marshes, by the Sea-side and Salt-Waters, where he lives on Fish, Fowl, Mice, and Insects.
Who's here? Trust. Sir Timothy Tawdry, Sir, is married to Mrs. Phillis. Sir Tim. How can that be a Marriage, when he who join'd us, was but a hired Fellow, dress'd like a Parson? Trust. Sir Tim. Oh, what a damn'd lying Pimp is this! Sham. Why, truly, Sir I did go to hire such a one Sir Tim. Look ye there now. Sham.
For several successive evenings after, one of her relations dressed himself in a very odd dress, which I cannot tell how to describe or to convey a better Idea of it than to suppose a man dress'd with plumes of feathers, something in the same manner as those worn by Coaches, Hearses, Horses, etc., at the Funerals in London.
Both men were more than ordinary tall and soldier like: only the bigger wore a scarlet cloak very richly lac'd, and was shouting orders to his men; while the other, dress'd in plain buff suit and jack boots, had a map spread before him, which he studied very attentively, writing therein with a quill pen. "What a plague have we here?" cries the big man, as we drew up.
But it was computed that, besides those who went off wounded, upwards of a hundred at least were left on the spot, among whom was Colonel Honywood, who commanded the dismounted cavalrie, whose sabre of considerable value Mons. de Cluny brought off and still preserves; and his tribe lykeways brought off many arms; the Colonel was afterwards taken up, and, his wounds being dress'd, with great difficultie recovered.
Plays of course were neglected, actors held cheap, and slightly dress'd, while singers and dancers were better paid, and embroider'd. These measures, of course, created murmurings on one side, and ill-humour and contempt on the other."
