Definitions
- 1 A female maestro.
"“That is fair,” we say of a rhymed page that sounds as if it might have been indited to the fair Caroline and she only. But the maestra curls her lip contemptuously and utters “umph! Pope!” We are shy of gems. If, therefore, we attribute to Moore what rightly belongs to the scribe here recorded, may his shade forgive us, and appreciate the compliment./[…]/ “The interesting feature of the book,” said the maestra, “is its ministerial records. Do you notice what an assembly of the saints is there represented?”"
