Spain, indeed, rode in a high chariot for a time, but at length, in that unlucky Armada drive, crashed against English oak on the ocean highways, and came off creaking and rickety, grew thenceforth ever more unsteady, finally, came utterly to the ground, with contusions, fractures, and much mishap, and now the poor nation hobbles hypochondriacally upon crutches, all its brave charioteering sadly ended.
"Such a craze, however, is too widely diffused, and falls in with too obstinate a preconception in the human race, which has in every age hypochondriacally regarded itself as under some fatal necessity of dwindling, much to have challenged public attention.
