The glass cases, the beds, the forms lying there, the gallery above, and the marble pavement under foot the suffering, and the fortitude to bear it in various degrees occasionally, from some, the groan that could not be repress'd sometimes a poor fellow dying, with emaciated face and glassy eye, the nurse by his side, the doctor also there, but no friend, no relative such were the sights but lately in the Patent-office.
"I kiss'd it, and repress'd my sighs Its father in its face to see; But then it had its mother's eyes, And they were all to love and me. "Mary, adieu! I must away: While thou art blest I'll not repine; But near thee I can never stay: My heart would soon again be thine.
"What could her grief be? she had all she loved, And he who had so loved her was not there To trouble with bad hopes, or evil wish, Or ill repress'd affection, her pure thoughts. What could her grief be? she had loved him not, Nor given him cause to deem himself beloved, Nor could he be a part of that which prey'd Upon her mind a spectre of the past."
