1754-1832 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | The Poetical Works of the Rev. George Crabbe  | | | | Published: | 1994 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | Chadwyck-Healey, English Poetry | CH-EnglPoetry | | | | Description: | “To a Woman I never addressed myself in the language of decency and
friendship, without receiving a decent and friendly answer. If I was
hungry or thirsty, wet or sick, they did not hesitate, like Men, to
perform a generous action: in so free and kind a manner did they
contribute to my relief, that if I was dry, I drank the sweetest draught;
and if hungry, I ate the coarsest morsel with a double relish.” | | | Similar Items: | Find |
