Analysis of On The Lady Manchester
Joseph Addison 1672 (Milston) – 1719 (Holland House, London)
While haughty Gallia's dames, that pread
O'er their pale cheeks, an artful red,
Beheld this beauteous stranger there
In native charms, divinely fair;
Confusion in their looks they show'd;
And with unborrow'd blushes glow'd.
