_Note to the passage in page_ 396. _relative to Pope's
lines upon Lady Mary W. Montague_.] I think that I could
show, if necessary, that Lady Mary W. Montague was also
greatly to blame in that quarrel, _not_ for having
rejected, but for having encouraged him: but I would rather
decline the task--though she should have remembered her own
line, "_He comes too near, that comes to be denied_." I
admire her so much--her beauty, her talents--that I should do
this reluctantly. I, besides, am so attached to the very name
of _Mary_, that as Johnson once said, "If you called a
dog _Harvey_, I should love him;" so, if you were to call
a female of the same species "Mary," I should love it better
than others (biped or quadruped) of the same sex with a
different appellation. She was an extraordinary woman: she
could translate _Epictetus_, and yet write a song worthy
of Aristippus. The lines,

"And when the long hours of the public are past,
And we meet, with champaigne and a chicken, at last,
May every fond pleasure that moment endear!
Be banish'd afar both discretion and fear!
Forgetting or scorning the airs of the crowd,
He may cease to be formal, and I to be proud,
Till," &c. &c.

There, Mr. Bowles!--what say you to such a supper with such a
woman? and her own description too? Is not her "_champaigne
and chicken_" worth a forest or two? Is it not poetry? It
appears to me that this stanza contains the "_puree_" of
the whole philosophy of Epicurus:--I mean the _practical_
philosophy of his school, not the precepts of the master; for
I have been too long at the university not to know that the
philosopher was himself a moderate man. But, after all, would
not some of us have been as great fools as Pope? For my part,
I wonder that, with his quick feelings, her coquetry, and his
disappointment, he did no more,--instead of writing some
lines, which are to be condemned if false, and regretted if
true.
