--But your worships chuse rather that I give you the length, breadth, and perpendicular height of the great parish-church, or drawing of the faade of the abbey of Saint _Austerberte_ which has been transported from _Artois_ hither--everything is just I suppose as the masons and carpenters left them, --and if the belief in _Christ_ continues so long, will be so these fifty years to come--so your worships and reverences may all measure them at your leisures----but he who measures thee, _Janatone_, must do it now--thou carriest the principles of change within thy frame; and considering the chances of a transitory life, I would not answer for thee a moment; ere twice twelve months are passed and gone, thou mayest grow out like a pumpkin, and lose thy shapes----or thou mayest go off like a flower, and lose thy beauty--nay, thou mayest go off like a hussy--and lose thyself. --I would not answer for my aunt _Dinah_, was she alive----'faith, scarce for her picture----were it but painted by _Reynolds_--

- But your worships choose rather that I should give you the length, breadth, and height of the great parish-church, or draw the abbey of Saint Austerberte, which was transported here from Artois, so that your worships may measure them at your leisure. But he who measures thee, Janatone, must do it now - thy frame will change - and before twice twelve months are passed, thou mayest grow out like a pumpkin, and lose thy shape - or thou mayest go off like a flower, and lose thy beauty - nay, thou mayest go off like a hussy, and lose thyself.
