MR. GAYWIT.
Nor I--call it a just Admiration of the highest Worth, call it the tenderest Friendship if you please; tho' much I fear it merits the sweetest, softest Name that can be giv'n to any of our Passions. If there be a Passion pure without Allay, as tender and soft, as violent and strong, you cannot sure miscall it by that Name.
