A dialogue between the lady and her maid; and a panegyric, or rather satire, on the passion of love, in the sublime style CHAPTER VIII. In which, after some very fine writing, the history goes on, and relates the interview between the lady and Joseph; where the latter hath set an example which we despair of seeing followed by his sex in this vicious age CHAPTER IX.
