Blushed
We griev’d, we sigh’d, we wept; we never blush’d before.
Cowley.—A Discourse by way of Vision, concerning Cromwell; the last line of the seventh verse of the rapture beginning “Curst be the man.”
Ne’er blush’d unless in spreading vice’s snares,
She blunder’d on some virtue unawares.
Churchill.—The Rosciad, Line 137.
