CANVAS to CATO

CANVAS.—Lely on animated canvas stole
The sleepy eye, that spoke the melting soul.

Pope.—To Augustus, Epi. I. Line 149.

CAP.—Pet. Why, this was moulded on a porringer;
A velvet dish; fye, fye! ’Tis lewd and filthy;
Why, ’tis a cockle or a walnut shell,
A knack, a toy, a trick, a baby’s cap;
Away with it, come, let me have a bigger.
Kate. I’ll have no bigger; this doth fit the time,
And gentlewomen wear such caps as these.

And, while they captivate, inform the mind.

To see the making of her carcanet,
And that to- morrow you will bring it home.

With true-love knots and flourishes.

Our appetites are full as good.
