literary work
a retelling by Mary Lamb
“Bequeathed me by will but poor a thousand crowns.”
“Well said: that was laid on with a trowel.”
“True is it that we have seen better days.”
“You have a nimble wit: I think ’twas made of Atalanta’s heels.”
“Make the doors upon a woman’s wit and it will out at the casement; shut that and ’twill out at the key-hole; stop that, ’twill fly with the smoke out at the chimney.”
“If I were a woman I would kiss as many of you as had beards that pleased me, complexions that liked me and breaths that I defied not: and, I am sure, as many as have good beards or good faces or sweet breaths will, for my kind offer, when I make curtsy, bid me farewell.”
