For there no graces revel;

    'Tis not her shape, for there the fates

Have rather been uncivil.

    'Tis not her air, for sure in that

There's nothing more than common;

    And all her sense is only chat

Like any other woman.

'Twas both perhaps, or neither;

    In short, 'twas that provoking charm

Of Cælia altogether.
