Henry Wooton : 'Ye meaner beauties of the night'

'The Famous Sonnet of Sir H: Wooton beginning. Ye meaner Beauties of the Night is likewise exquisitely pretty, and I shall never forget Baretti's Critique upon it as I think it was a capital one - and for a Foreigner - astonishing. The last Stanza says he ought to be the first, for it is now A Climax Down Stairs, beginning with the Stars; and ending with the Roses'.

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Hester Lynch Thrale      Print: Unknown
