La voix U se forme en rapprochant les dents sans les joindre entièrement, et allongeant les deux lèvres en dehors, les approchant aussi l'une de l'autre, sans les joindre tout à fait: U. M. Jourdain. U, U. Il n'ya rien de plus véritable : U. Le Maître de Philosophie.

Page 30 - A thing slipp'd idly from me. Our poesy is as a gum, which oozes • From whence 'tis nourished : The fire i' the flint Shows not till it be struck ; our gentle flame Provokes itself, and, like the current, flies Each bound it chafes.
