So have I seen in larder dark Of veal a lucid loin ; Replete with many a brilliant spark, (As wise philosophers remark) At once both stink and shine.
Her wit, which was hereditary, as often shocked 494 CATHERINE SEDLEY, by its indelicacy as it diverted by its sprightliness.
Neither time nor place, however unseasonable they might have been, could restrain the unhallowed license of her tongue. The first Earl of Dart- mouth, who was probably well acquainted with her, observes, — " Her wit was rath...er surprising than pleasing, for there was no restraint in what she said of or to anybody : most of her remarkable sayings were what nobody else would in modesty or discretion have said." According to Lord Dart- mouth her mother died in a mad-house ; and pro- bably the affliction was inherited by her offspring.
