Accidents are divided into three diffe∣rent Classes, viz. Antecedent, Conco∣mitant and Subsequent. The first usher Me, and serve to perswade that in all probability I ought to come into a place. The second accompany Me, and are an infallible testimony, that I reside there. The third lacquay Me, and make it appear, that I have been formerly there.
My usual Antecedent Accidents are Balls, Dancings, Comedies, Serenades, Banquetings, Feasts and Walks as well by Coursing and Promenades, St Jameses. Park, as in stately Country Apartments, Compliments, pleasant Letters, Sonnets, Madrigals, Songs, and diminutive cares.
My Concomitant are Sighs, Languish∣ment, Transports, amorous Complaints, tender glances and passionate Stanzas
