P. S.

Have mislaid the two paragraphs--can’t stop to look,

But both describe charming--both Footman and Cook.

She, "decidedly pious"--with pathos deplores

The increase of French cookery and sin on our shores;

And adds--(while for further accounts she refers

To a great Gospel preacher, a cousin of hers,)

That "tho' _some_ make their Sabbaths mere matter-of-fun days,

She asks but for tea and the Gospel, on Sundays."

The footman, too, full of the true saving knowledge;--

Has late been to Cambridge--to Trinity College;

Served last a young gentleman, studying divinity,

But left--not approving the morals of Trinity.
