All the girls wept, as I myself did, for there's a contagion in such happy tears. Nevertheless, they did not all proceed from the same source; some were virtuous and some vicious, and the young man's were the only ones whose source was pure and unalloyed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
