L'Estrange: The Moon Begs a New Gown.

The Moon was in a heavy Twitter once, that her Cloaths never Fitted her: Wherefore, Pray Mother, says she, let the Taylor take Measure of me for a New-Gown. Alas Child, says the Mother, how is it possible to make any one Garment to Fit a Body that appears every Day in a several Shape?

'Tis the Humour of many People, to be perpetually Longing for something or other that's not to be had.
