A gentleman once asked lady to hand him
a pair Of snuffers in the following language !:
"Most beautiful, charming, and accomplished
lady, will your ladyship, by an unmerited CON
descension Of your infinite goodness, be pleas
ed to extend TO your most devoted, obsequious,
and very humble servant, that pair Of ignipo-
tent digests, that may exasperate the excres-
cence of this nocturnal, cylindric luminary,
in order that the refulgent brightness Of its re-
splendent brilliancy may dazzle the vision Of
our ocular optics more potently?" wonder
if the lady did hand him the snuffers?
