Excerpt from The Spleen: And Other Poems

There is much feeling as well as fancy in the tes timony given to the power possessed by the fair-sex in banishing intrusions of Spleen. The contrast of black eyes and blue is very striking; and the allu sion to the miracle of St. Januarius's head is one of the most ingenious in the piece. The succeeding grave censure on modern female education may suggest useful reﬂections yet few, it may be suppo sed, will now concur in the advice to confine girlsfor their security within the safe high wall of ignorance.

What to avoid, is the next topic of the author's friendly admonition. At the head of the particulars enumerated he places, properly enough, that species of religion which inculcates gloomy and desponding ideas. With no less prudence he cautions against going to law; and his allegory of a forest may by lawyers themselves be admitted to be happily sus tained. In warning against party-strife, he takes occasion to characterise the two leading parties in church as they existed at his day. The contrast is drawn with truth and humour; but the force of his satirical wit is principally expended on the puritan ical sect, the rigid and unamiable manners of which had very commonly the effect of disgusting most those who from birth and education took the nearest survey of them.
