Note 1 — LIFE AND WRITINGS OF MRS. PIOZZI. (continued 3)
Reading edition
By Sir Lucas:
"O'er the ice, as o'er pleasure, you lightly should glide, Both have gulphs which their flattering surfaces hide."
By Sir William:
"Swift o'er the level how the skaiters slide, And skim the glitt'ring surface as they go: Thus o'er life's specious pleasures lightly glide, But pause not, press not on the gulph below."
