LADY HERVEY OF ICKWORTH (MARY LEPELL)
English wife of John Hervey (1700 - 1768)
|
A father inquires whether his boy can construe Homer, if he
understands Horace, and can taste Virgil; but how seldom does he
ask, or examine, or think whether he can restrain his
passions,--whether he is grateful, generous, humane,
compassionate, just and benevolent.
