"True," replied Charlotte, "but you do not feel what I do." She then bade her good night: but sleep was a stranger to her eyes, and the tear of anguish watered her pillow. Nature's last, best gift: Creature in whom excell'd, whatever could To sight or thought be nam'd! Holy, divine! good, amiable, and sweet! How thou art fall'n!
I will not insist to this purpose upon the Examples afforded us by yellow Orpiment, and common Sea Salt, from which, sublim'd together, Chymists unanimously affirm their White or Crystalline Arsenick to be made: But 'tis not unworthy our noting, That though Yellow Orpiment be acknowledg'd to be the Copiousest by far of the two Ingredients of Arsenick, yet this last nam'd Body being duely added to the highest Colour'd Metall Copper, when 'tis in fusion, gives it a whiteness both within and without.
I thought not to have parted from the Italian examples of late memory; but that I must not let passe that of Hiero the Siracusan, being one of those I formerly nam'd. I will also call to memory a figure of the old Testament serving just to this purpose.
First to the Seer did he turn, and austere was the scowl when he nam'd him: "Prophet of evils! to me never word of thy mouth has been grateful; Gladness it sheds ever more on thy spirit to prophesy mischief. Never had good its announcement from thee, its accomplishment never!
If e'er my Mother, Sir, were dear to you, As from your Tears I guest whene'er you nam'd her; If the remembrance of those Charms remain, Whose weak resemblance you have found in me, For which you oft have said you lov'd me dearly; Dispense your mercy, and preserve this Copy, Which else must perish with th'Original. King. Why all this Conjuration, Galatea? Gal.

Hereupon the sentries cried 'Where? and apprehending it had been a party from Dumfries to attack them, gave the alarm to the rebels, who got up in great confusion."
And often, in short intervals of ease, Her kind and cheerful spirit strove to please; Whilst we, alas, unable to refuse The sad delight we were so soon to lose, Treasur'd each word, each kind expression claim'd, ''Twas me she look'd at, 'it was me she nam'd. Thus fondly soothing grief, too great to bear, With mournful eagerness and jealous care.
I also appoint my corpse to be carried in a herse drawn with six white horses, with white feathers, and followed by six coaches, with six horses to each coach, to carry the four and twenty persons.... Item, I give to forty of my particular acquaintance, not at my funeral, to every one of them a gold ring of ten shillings value.... As for mourning, I leave that to my executors hereafter nam'd; and I do not desire them to give any to whom I shall leave a legacy.... I will have no Presbyterian, Moderate Low Churchmen, or Occasional Conformists, to be at or have anything to do with my funeral.
The tongue's a fire, a world of ill, which plac'd Among the members, often has disgrac'd All the whole body, firing the whole frame Of nature, and is kindl'd by hell flame. All kind of beasts and birds that can be nam'd, Serpents and fishes, are and have been tam'd By mankind; but the tongue can no man tame, A stubborn evil full of deadly bane.
One wonders what the bride was like, whom he commends for "Housekeeping Virtues, so that the Servants instantly Obey, there is no Pilfering & Loitering, & the House moves like Clockwork."
