But it cannot be assumed as a mask to conceal insensibility or malevolence: it must be the effect of corresponding sentiments, or it will impress upon the countenance a new and more disgusting deformity AFFECTATION. Looks, which do not correspond with the heart, cannot be assumed without labour, nor continued without pain: the motive to relinquish them must, therefore, soon preponderate, and the aspect and apparel of the visit will be laid by together: the smiles and the languishments of art will vanish, and the fierceness of rage, or the gloom of discontent, will either obscure or destroy all the elegance of symmetry and complexion.
So, old as he was, he induced the settlers around to send him their negroes on certain days of the week for instruction; but he had not made much progress in the work before he became too feeble to carry it on. He fell into languishments attended with fever, and this he viewed as his summons. His successor, Mr. Nehemiah Walters, came to live with him, and held a good deal of conversation with him.
The result of the whole matter was his return to Waverley-Honour without any transfer of his affections, notwithstanding the sighs and languishments of the fair tell-tale, who had revealed, in mere sisterly affection, the secret of Lady Emily's attachment, and in despite of the nods, winks, and innuendos of the officious lady mother, and the grave eulogiums which the Earl pronounced successively on the prudence, and good sense, and admirable dispositions, of his first, second, third, fourth, and fifth daughters.
Remember, Sylvia, are my due; And all the Joys my Rival does receive He ravishes from me, not you. Ah Sylvia, can I live and this believe? Insensibles are touched to see My languishments, and seem to pity me. Which I demand of thee, E. of thee, Which I demand, &c. Pis. What's all this? Phi. Who's there? Pis. A Man, a Friend to the General. Phi. Then thou'rt an Enemy to all good Men.

Since, fair Aminta, I did thee adore, Alas, I am not what I was before: My Thoughts disorder'd from my Heart do break; And Sighs destroy my Language when I speak. My Liberty and my Repose I gave, To be admitted but your Slave; And can you question such a Victory? Or must I suffer more to make it sure? It needs not, since these Languishments can be Nought but the Wounds which you alone can cure.
Er. I will not promise; what I mean to do My Virtue only shall oblige me to. Alcip. But, Madam, what d'you mean by this reserve? To what intent does all this Coldness serve? Is there no pity to my Sufferings due? And will you still my Languishments renew?

At last, after adventures which can scarcely have edified Ann Lang, Idalia abruptly "remember'd to have heard of a Monastery at Verona," and left Vicenza at break of day, taking her "unguarded languishments" out of that city and out of the novel. It is true that Ann Lang, for 2s., bought a continuation of the career of Idalia; but we need not follow her.
I know of no better security against the tyranny of fashion, against caprice, ennui, and the languishments of indolence, than a well stored mind. She who best comprehends her nature and relations, will usually best adorn any and every sphere in which Providence may place her.
