FORTUNE-TELLER.

BALSAMINE.



A young heir, bred to wealth and luxury.

Shakspeare.



A wife
With wealth enough, and young and beauteous,
Brought up as best becomes a gentlewoman;
Her only fault,—and that is faults enough,—
Is, that she is intolerable curst
And shrewd and froward; so beyond all measure,
That I would not wed her for a mine of gold.

Shakspeare.
