There, Mr. Bowles!--what say you to such a supper with such a woman? and her own description too? Is not her "_champaigne and chicken_" worth a forest or two? Is it not poetry? It appears to me that this stanza contains the "_puree_" of the whole philosophy of Epicurus:--I mean the _practical_ philosophy of his school, not the precepts of the master; for I have been too long at the university not to know that the philosopher was himself a moderate man. But, after all, would not some of us have been as great fools as Pope? For my part, I wonder that, with his quick feelings, her coquetry, and his disappointment, he did no more,--instead of writing some lines, which are to be condemned if false, and regretted if true.
