At last parted, and my wife and I by coach to the Opera, and there saw the 2nd part of "The Siege of Rhodes," but it is not so well done as when Roxalana was there, who, it is said, is now owned by my Lord of Oxford. Davenport, who was deceived by a pretended marriage with the Earl of Oxford, see ante. Lord Oxford's first wife died in 1659.
Norton, the second Roxalana, a fine woman, indifferent handsome, good body and hand, and good mine, and pretends to sing, but do it not excellently. However I took pleasure there, and my wife was sent for, and Creed come in to us, and so there we spent the most of the afternoon.
And Pleuro means innoculation and short sales.... Ah well! ... He flicked the wheelers gently. 'Shake it up, Alexander! Look alive, Roxalana.... I named 'em when I was reading ROLLIN'S ANCIENT HISTORY, my dear ... my dear! He looked down at the little woman by his side with deep tenderness in his blue eyes and a smile that banished the shade from his face.
He wanted a Roxalana of familiar gaiety, without any respect for the dignity of the sovereign. Madame du Barry one day so far forgot propriety as to desire to be present at a Council of State. The King was weak enough to consent to it. There she remained ridiculously perched upon the arm of his chair, playing all sorts of childish monkey tricks, calculated to please an old sultan.
But we have never been companions. The things that she loves are charmless for me. She is enchanted with people from whom I run away. Is it companionship, do you think, for me to look on while she walks a coranto or tosses shuttlecocks with De Malfort? Roxalana is as much my companion when I admire her on the stage from my seat in the pit.
"Ay, my friend but where to begin? with the wit of Buckingham, and Sedley, and Etherege, or with the grace of Harry Jermyn the courtesy of the Duke of Monmouth, or with the loveliness of La Belle Hamilton of the Duchess of Richmond of Lady , the person of Roxalana, the smart humour of Mrs. Nelly " "Or what say you to the bewitching sorceries of Lady Cynthia?" demanded his companion.
He did give me several directions what to do, and so I home by water again and to church a little, thinking to have met Mrs. Pierce in order to our meeting at night; but she not there, I home and dined, and comes presently by appointment my wife. I spent the afternoon upon a song of Solyman's words to Roxalana that I have set, and so with my wife walked and Mercer to Mrs.

Woffington's housewife, ma'am, fearful to the eye, only it holds everything in the world, and there is a small space for everything else to be returned by the bearer. Thank you, sir." Roxalana. "The lady sews quicker than you, mother." Woffington. "Bless the child, don't come so near my sword-arm; the needle will go into your eye, and out at the back of your head."
I don't think we could deceive Roxalana and Lucy this way, because their eyes are without colored spectacles; but, when people have once begun to see by prejudices and judge by jargon what can't be done with them? Who knows? do you? I don't; so let us try." "I beg your pardon, madam; my brush touched your face." "No offense, sir; I am used to that.
