LUIIMMHI THE STUBBORN DAM There was a little stubborn dame Whom no authority could tame, estive by long indulgence grown, No will she minded but her own : At trifies oft she'd scold and Fret', Then in a corner take a seat, And sourly moping all the day, Disdain alike to work or play. Papa all softer arts had try'd, And sharper remedies apply 'd ; But both were vain, for every coures He took still made her worse and worse. 'Tis strange to think how female wit So oft should make a lucky hit When man with all his high pretence To deeper judgment, sounder sense THE STUBBORN DAME. 85 Will err, and measures false pursue. Tis very strange, I own, but true. Mamma observ'd the rising lass By stealth retiring to the glass, To practise little airs unseen, In the true genius of thirteen : On this a deep design she laid To tame the .humour of the maid : Contriving, like a prudent mother, To make one folly cure another. Upon the wall against the seat Which Jessy us'd for her retreat, Whene'er by accident offended, A looking-glass was straight suspended* That it might shew her how deform 'd Shelook'd, and frightfulwhen she stormU And warn her, as she priz'd her beauty, To bend her humour to her duty : 36 THE STUBBORN DAME. All this the looking-glass aehiev'd, Its threats were minded and believ'd. The maid who spurn'd at all advice, Grew tame and gentle in a trice ; So when all other means had fail'd, The silent monitor prevail'd. Thus, fable to the human kind Presents an image of the mind ; It is a mirror, where we spy At large our own deformity, And learn of course, those faults to mend Which but to mention would offend.
