Abstract: Is whispering nothing ?Is leaning cheek to cheek ?-is meeting noses ?Kissing with inside lip ?-stopping the career Of laughter with a sigh ?-(a note infallible Of breaking honesty:)-horsing foot to foot?-Skulking in corners ?-wishing clocks more swift ?-Hours, minutes ?-noon, midnight ?and all eyes Blind with the pin and web, but theirs,-theirs only, That would unseen be wicked ?-is this nothing ?Why, then the world, and all that's in it, is nothing.Bhakspeare.Thou wondrous yellow fiend!Temper an antidote with antimony, And 'tis infectious: Mix jealousy with marriage, It poisons virtue.Davenport.0 jealousy!thou bane of pleasing friendship, Thou worst invader of our tender bosoms ; How does thy rancour poison all our softness, And turn our gentle natures into bitterness!Rowe.
