FORTUNE-TELLER. 23 
DAHLIA. 
Thou canst not frown, thou canst not look 
askance, 
Nor bite the lip, as angry wenches will; 
Nor hast thou pleasure to be cross in talk ; 
But thou with mildness entertain’st thy 
wooers, 
With gentle conference soft and affable. 
Shakspeare. 
Stiff in opinions, always in the wrong, 
Everything by starts, and nothing long. 
Dryden.
