Robert Craggs, Earl Nugent (Роберт Крэггз, граф Ньюджент)

Epigram 5. THO’ cheerful, discreet, and with freedom well bred

THO' cheerful, discreet, and with freedom well bred,
She never repented an idle word said:
Securely she smiles on the forward and bold,
They feel what they owe her, and feel it untold.
