Alexander Pope - On a Certain Lady at Court
Work rating: Medium

I know a thing that`s most uncommon;
   (Envy, be silent and attend!)
I know a reasonable Woman,
   Handsome and witty, yet a Friend.

Not warp`d by Passion, awed by Rumour;
   Not grave through Pride, nor gay through Folly,
An equal Mixture of good Humour
   And sensible soft Melancholy.

"Has she no faults then (Envy says), Sir?"
   Yes, she has one, I must aver;
When all the World conspires to praise her,
   The Woman`s deaf, and does not hear.
