handsome in his person, and turned of forty years old. Good for nothing, as far as ever I knew.
Earl of Arran in Ireland, and brother to the duke of Ormond; of very good sense, though seldom shows it. Of a fair complexion, middle stature, toward 40 years old. This is right; but he is the most negligent of his own affairs.
He is a gentleman of a good deal of wit and good nature; a lover of the ladies, and a pleasant companion; is very thin, of a fair complexion, middle stature, and turned of 30 years old. Of very good nature, but a very moderate capacity.
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
He is skilled in most things, and very eloquent [a great lie]; was bred a presbyterian, yet joins with the church party in every thing; and they do nothing without him.
Is a good companion in conversation; agreeable among the ladies; serves the queen very assiduously in council; makes a considerable figure in the house of commons; by his prudent administration, obliges every body in the exchequer; and in time may prove a great man. Is turned of 30 years old. Had some very scurvy qualities, particularly avarice.
SIR
