She should not effuse too much, nor be too generous of titles, nor should she fail of the necessary courtesy due always from guest to hostess.
"Manners and Social Usages"
Mrs. John M. E. W. Sherwood
Hither turn Thy graceful footsteps; hither, gentle maid, Incline thy polish'd forehead: let thy eyes effuse the mildness of their azure dawn; And may the fanning breezes waft aside Thy radiant locks: disclosing, as it bends With airy softness from the marble neck, The cheek fair-blooming, and the rosy lip, Where winning smiles and pleasures sweet as love, 320 With sanctity and wisdom, tempering blend Their soft allurement.
"Poetical Works of Akenside"
Mark Akenside
Or the mild majesty of private life, Where Peace with ever blooming olive crowns The gate; where Honour's liberal hands effuse Unenvied treasures, and the snowy wings 510 Of Innocence and Love protect the scene?
