A while of weakness followed. My brain reel'd: my fingers dug into the rock behind till they bled. I bent forward forward over the heaving mist through which the sea crawl'd like a snake. It beckon'd me down, that crawling water.... I stiffened my knees and the faintness pass'd. I must not look down again. It flashed on me that Delia had call'd me weak: and I hardened my heart to fight it out.
Desperately I strove to raise my fallen sire again, And call'd upon my mother; but her eye Was closed alike to sorrow, want, and pain. Oh, what a night was that! when all alone I watch'd my dead beside the cold hearth-stone. I thought myself a monster that the deed To save my mother was too promptly done.
That little town, as you might suppose it, off there on the brow of a hill, is indeed a town, but of wounds, sickness, and death. It is Finley hospital, northeast of the city, on Kendall green, as it used to be call'd. That other is Campbell hospital. Both are large establishments. I have known these two alone to have from two thousand to twenty-five hundred inmates.
There was also a story that he was dead. But there was little evidence of the truth of either tale. Franklin, therefore, hardly knew what he was wedding, a maid, a widow, or another man's wife. Moreover the runaway husband "had left many debts, which his successor might be call'd upon to pay."
My father will presently enter and address you: 'O that it could be proved That some night-tripping fairy had exchanged In cradle-cloths our children as they lay, Call'd yours Fitzjocelyn mine, Frost Dynevor! 'For shame, Louis! I shall have to call you Fitzjocelyn! You are behaving very ill. 'Insulting the English constitution in the person of seven squires. 'Don't, my dear!
We have our forefathers and great-grandames all before us, as they were in Chaucer's days; their general characters are still remaining in mankind, and even in England, tho' they are call'd by other names than those of Monks and Friars, and Canons, and Lady Abbesses, and Nuns: for mankind is ever the same, and nothing lost out of nature, tho' everything is alter'd.
They are call'd to doubt of the Existence of God, or if that be allow'd them, 'tis only to question what Notice he takes: His Wise Providence at every turn is charged with Neglect, and often not for, that which has something of Precedent, supporting the Wicked, but which is dreadfully New disappointing their Lusts.
His Majesty, said he, left a quiet, retir'd, compleatly happy Condition, full of Honour, belov'd of his Country, Vallu'd and Esteem'd, as well as Fear'd by his Enemies, to come over hither at your own Request, to deliver you from the Encroachments and Tyranny as you call'd it, of your Prince.
And then the third Region, if the Faeces be volatile, the Birth will soon come in Balneo. This I observed also in the Laboratory of that ingenious Chymist Lysidono, and with much Pleasure animadverted that Mineral of the same Zenith and Nadir, of that now so famous Water in England, near that famous Metropolis, call'd Islington. Doct. Seignior Scar.
Hearken, my brethren, hath not God elected The poor, who by this world have been rejected; Yet rich in faith, and of that kingdom heirs, Which God will give his foll'wers to be theirs? But you, my brethren, do the poor despise. Do not the rich men o'er you tyrannise; And hale ye to their courts; that worthy name By which you're call'd do not they blaspheme?
