Who hath not heard of Blandy's fatal fame, Deplor'd her fate, and sorrow'd o'er her shame?" The inimitable Letters of Horace Walpole contain, as might be expected, more than one mention of this cause célèbre.
... Her lowly plight Immovable, till peace obtain'd from fault Acknowledg'd and deplor'd, in Adam wrought Commiseration; soon his heart relented Tow'rds her, his life so late and sole delight, Now at his feet submissive in distress! Creature so fair his reconcilement seeking, At once disarm'd, his anger all he lost.
You had not yet the fatal change deplor'd The tender lover for th' imperious lord, Nor felt the pains that jealous fondness brings, Nor wept that coldness from possession springs, Above your sex distinguish'd in your fate, You trusted yet experienc'd no deceit.
Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys; And, worse than all, and most to be deplor'd As human Nature's broadest, foulest blot, Chains him, and tasks him, and exacts his sweat With stripes, that mercy with a bleeding heart Weeps, when she sees inflicted on a beast. Then what is man? And what man, seeing this, And having human feelings, does not blush And hang his head to think himself a man?
