FORTUNE-TELLER. 149 
POPPY. 
Loose in morals and in manners vain. 
In conversation frivolous,, in dress 
Extreme ; at once rapacious and profuse ; 
Frequent in park with lady at his side, 
Ambling, and prattling scandal as he goes, 
But rare at home, and never at his books, 
Or with his pen, save when he scrawls a card; 
Constant at routs, familiar with a round 
Of ladyships, a stranger to the poor. 
Cowper. 
°^*©*K*> 
As brown in hue 
As hazel nuts, and sweeter than the kernel. 
Shakspeaue.
