Roxana Flashcards
‘London, a large…
and gay city’
‘My father was in very good…
Circumstance at his coming over’
‘The sequel will leave you to…
Judge whether I flatter myself or not’
Never, ladies, marry a fool…
Be anything rather than take up a fool
Hear him talk nonsense
Or be laughed at for a fool?
I now had 5 children by him:
The only work that fools are good for
My condition was the most
Deplorable that words can express
I did not see so much
Loss in his parting with me
I should eat up
My very children themselves
But the misery of my own circumstance hardened
My heart against my blood and flesh
Charity is a
Duty to the poor
I’ll make you
Easy if I can
I’ll die before I would consent
Or before you should consent for my sake
A woman ought rather to die
Than to prostitute her virtue and her honour
She lay still, and let him
Do what he would with her
