Henry lived six gay years in Rome. His mistress was a kind Machese. Her daughter bright in childish bloom. Charmed him with pretty loving ways.
Mama encouraged him to take The budding virgin's maidenhead, But this displeased the virtuous rake, The girl was soon about to wed.
Mama replied, "Why should you hesitate? True it is disapproved by some, But if you are so very delicate, Can't you just fuck her in the bum?"
# The Pearl/Volume 7/A Copy of a Letter.

Was given me by my cozen SC of Kempston, and written in a Tarpaulin style.
Madame,-
Premising you are safe returned to Towne, I made bold to acquaint you that Mr. F- is lately arriv'd art ye haven of Matrimony; He had been long in ye middle state of Purgatory between ye Church & ye Ladyes Chamber; ere she with ye advice of her mother, & some other experienced Ladyes, was lanced forth into ye marriage bed. The Vessell had been 14 years & three months on Building, that it is thought she will care well under Sail. It is a fine smooth ship, I will promise you, & one of ye first-rate; and likely to doe ye King good Service if ably & well man'd. The only fault there is (if any) she is too narrow in ye Poope. She hath a fine shroud, & all difficulty soone vanish'd saving only ye maine yard may prove too burly for the middle Deck. The Capt. it is thought this night will goe on board or her; hee is bound for ye Straites Mouth, and cannot come off without blood-shed: Nay worse; 'tis fear'd if opposition be made, hee may be forced to spend his provision in ye channell, & soe returne without doeing ye Kingdome a penny worth of service.
# The Pearl/Volume 6/NURSERY RHYMES.

There was a young man of Calcutta Who thought he would do a smart trick; So anointed his arsehole with butter. And in it inserted his prick. It was not for greed after gold; It was not for thirst after pelf; 'Twas simply because he'd been told To bloody well bugger himself.
There was a young lass of Dalkeith, Who frigged a young man with her teeth; She complained that he stunk; Not so much from the spunk; But his arsehole was just underneath.
There was a gay parson of Norton, Whose prick, although thick, was a short 'un; To make up for this loss, He had balls like a horse. And never spent less than a quartern.
There was a young man of the Tweed. Who sucked his wife's arse thro' a reed; When she had diarrhoea. He'd let none come near. For fear they should poach on his feed.
There was an old man of Balbriggan, Who cunt juice was frequently swigging; But even to this. He preferred tom-cat's piss, Which he kept a pox'd nigger to frig in.
A cabman who drove in Biarritz, Once frightened a fare into fits; When reprov'd for a fart, He said, "God bless my heart When I break wind I usually shits."
A young woman got married at Chester. Her mother she kissed and she blessed her. Says she, "You're in luck, He's a stunning good fuck. For I've had himself myself down in Leicester.
# The Pearl/Volume 6/MISSY'S THOUGHTS.

(At a Boys' School.)
I'll tell my mammy when I go home. The boys won't let my twat alone; They pull my frock, and beg to see. What can they want to do with me?
My sister Mary's twice as wild, For she's fourteen, and I'm a child; And if they tried to plague her so, I think what bouncing Moll would do.
But why do the boys all tease me so, And ask if I have a mouse to show? They say there's a mouse in Bruce's clothes, And when he was cuddling me, it rose!
When yesterday, I climbed for pears, The boys all came to get their shares; They giggled, and pointed into my slit. I didn't know they were laughing at it.
The usher pretends to be my friend, But I don't know where his love will end; For while he keeps his sober talk. I catch his fingers under my frock.
They often make me lie down to show The very inside of my belly below, I do as they please, because they pay A shilling among them for the play.
They're not content, though I open wide, They grope for something or other inside; You'd think them fools, to see how they kiss, The smarting hole, by which I piss!
And then they show me all their shames, And teach me all the nasty names; I'll tell my mammy when I go home; The boys won't leave my Cunt alone!
A Brahmin at Madras introduced a relation of his to the Collector, who asked him whether this man was his brother. "No," said he, "he is not my brother, but he is one of my bloody relations."
A sailor on board the Duke of Edinburgh's yacht had a reputation as an impromptu poet. The following was one of his efforts before the Duchess:
He was a bloody sparrow. Lived up a bloody spout; There came a bloody thunderstorm. And washed the bugger out.
But in a bloody minute, They stopped the bloody rain; So the bloody little sparrow. Went up the spout again.
After which, he said: "I don't think much of it myself, marm, but my mates say it's bloody fine."

Hartford, June 3, 1787.
Yours of the 24th ulto. came to hand after our delegates had set out. I am satisfied with the appointment—except Sherman, ​who, I am told, is disposed to patch up the old scheme of Government. This was not my opinion of him, when we chose him: he is as cunning as the Devil, and if you attack him, you ought to know him well; he is not easily managed, but if he suspects you are trying to take him in, you may as well catch an Eel by the tail.

​XXXVI. George Washington to La Fayette.
Philadelphia, June 6th 1787.
It was, when I came here, and still is, my intention, to write you a long letter from this place before I leave it, but the hour is not yet come when I can do it to my own Satisfaction or for your information. I therefore shall wait till the result of the present meeting is more matured, and till the members who constitute it are at liberty to communicate the proceedings more freely before I attempt it.
You will I dare say, be surprized my dear Marquis to receive a letter from me at this place,—you will probably, be more so, when you hear that I am again brought, contrary to my public declaration, and intention, on a public theatre—such is the viscissitude of human affairs, and such the frailty of human nature that no man I conceive can well answer for the resolutions he enters into.
The pressure of the public voice was so loud, I could not resist the call to a convention of the States which is to determine whether we are to have a Government of respectability under which life—liberty, and property will be secured to us, or are to submit to one which may be the result of chance or the moment, springing perhaps from anarchy and Confusion, and dictated perhaps by some aspiring demagogue who will not consult the interest of his Country so much as his own ambitious views. What my be the result of the present deliberations is more than I am able, at present, if I was at liberty, to inform you, & therefore I will make this letter short, with the assurance of being more particular when I can be more satisfactory—

Philadelphia, June 6, 1787.
The prospect of a very long sojournment here has determined me to bring up my family. They will want about thirty pounds for the expense of travelling. The Executive will therefore oblige me by directing a warrant in my favor, to be delivered to Mrs. R. for that amount. My account stands thus:

​XXXVIIIa. James Madison to William Short
Philada. June 6th. 1787
The Convention has been formed about 12 days. It contains in several instances the most respectable characters in the U.S. ​and in general may be said to be the best contribution of talents the States could make for the occasion. What the result of the experiment may be is among the arcana of futurity. Our affairs are considered on all hands as at a most serious crisis. No hope is entertained from the existing Confederacy. And the eyes and hopes of all are turned towards this new assembly. The result therefore whatever it may be must have a material influence on our destiny, and, on that of the cause of republican liberty. The personal characters of the members promise much. The spirit which they bring with them seems in general equally promising. But the labor is great indeed; whether we consider the real or imaginary difficulties within doors or without doors.

# The Sermon on the Mount (Bossuet)/Day 10

Tenth Day
The true Christian character, as shown in the Eight Beatitudes, and its opposite characteristics.—Matt. v. 3, 12; Luke vi. 20, 27.
THE week has gone happily by, and given us a beautiful octave, in going over seven Beatitudes and coming back to our starting-point in the eighth. We have tried to impress upon ourselves eight characteristics of a Christian, which form an abridgment of Christian philosophy: — poverty, meekness, mourning — or disgust with the present life — mercy, love of justice, cleanness of heart, love of peace, and suffering for Justice’ sake.
Three of these qualities may appear to be much alike — meekness, mercifulness and love of peace 'nevertheless, each of them has its separate character. It is one thing to be peaceable and able to put an end to quarrels either with ourselves or amongst others; another thing to be gentle and meek, so as not to offend or ​irritate anybody; and yet another to be merciful and beneficent.
The characteristics opposed to the eight we have just considered are these: — the spirit of possession or of riches; bitterness; love of pleasure; injustice and hardness; corruption of heart; a spirit of quarrelsomeness and misunderstanding; impatience under afflictions; and lastly a cowardice that makes us leave off following the law of truth and justice.
We find in St Luke an abridgment of the Beatitudes reduced to four: — to poverty, hunger, mourning, and being hated and persecuted for love of the Son of God. To these four Beatitudes Jesus Christ adds four denunciations on men of the world: — ' Woe to you that are rich, for you have your consolation. Woe to you that are filled, for you shall hunger. Woe to you that now laugh, for you shall mourn and weep. Woe to you when men shall bless you. For according to these things did their fathers to the false prophets.' Let us, then, be afraid to have our consolation on earth; afraid to seek it, afraid to receive it, afraid of the praise and approval of the world; but let us cherish this series of Beatitudes which carries us on from the love of ​poverty to that of suffering, and through the love of suffering back to that of poverty; and which bestows upon us the same Kingdom in reward for both.
In conclusion, the teaching of the Beatitudes may be summed up in three sayings, which I would have you weigh well.
The whole teaching of morals is for the sole purpose of making us happy.
Our Heavenly Master places this object first. We must learn of Him the Way to true and eternal happiness.
* ↑ Luke vi. 20-23.
* ↑ Ibid. vi. 24, seq.
# The Sermon on the Mount (Bossuet)/Day 14

Fourteenth Day
Reconciliation.— Matt. v. 23-26
WE come now to a further beautiful and grand commandment, which makes us understand how God loves peace, when He orders us, as He does, to be reconciled with our brother before we approach the altar. He will not receive any offering that is made by a heart full of resentment or by hands inclined to vengeance.
We ought very specially to notice this saying: 'If thou remember that thy brother hath anything against thee.’ It is not only when you have given him cause for displeasure, but if he has merely taken ill something you have done, that you must try to come to friendly terms with him; and this, lest you should perhaps come to hate him if you found that he hated you. The first gift that we must offer to God is a heart free from all coldness and all unkindness towards our fellow-men. And we should ​not even wait for the Day of Communion. The actual day of oblation, when we shall be assisting together — or even alone — at the Holy Sacrifice, ought to be preceded by reconciliation.
But we must carry the love of peace yet farther, for St Paul says, ' Let not the sun go down upon your anger.’ The darkness would increase our vexation, our anger would return as we woke, and become more bitter. Dark and melancholy passions — amongst which are hate, revenge, and jealousy — grow stronger in the night hours, just as wounds and some kinds of diseases do.
In quarrels, law-suits, and every kind of dissension, we ' deliver ’ one another to ' the officer,’ because we mutually offend each other: — therefore we have reason to fear lest we be cast into that ' prison ’ whence we shall not go out 'till we re-pay the last farthing,’ according to the strictest justice. We should therefore come to some voluntary agreement, rather than appeal to a verdict which will serve to increase our bitterness. This is a point to be seriously considered.
St Augustine says that this ' adversary ’ with whom we are ' to be at agreement betimes,’ ​whilst we are 'in the way with him,’ is the Truth, which condemns us in this life; and which in the next delivers us to the executioner, who will compel us to pay this last farthing. That is, who will send us to dwell eternally in that frightful prison, since we can never then make satisfaction for our crimes.

# The Poisonous Snakes of India/HYDROPHIS CRASSICOLLIS (N.S.), Anderson

(Upload an image to replace this placeholder.)
HYDROPHIS CRASSICOLLIS (N.S) Anderson.
“Head hardly distinct from neck. Neck and body of nearly equal girth throughout. Round neck, 2" 2"; round middle of body, 2"9". Body elongated; thirty-four series of scales round the neck; forty round the middle of the body; scales almost smooth on the neck and anterior third of the body; two feeble keel-like tubercles, one before the other, very obscure, but more strongly developed on the two posterior thirds; ventrals twice the size of the adjoining scales, quite smooth, broken up here and there on the posterior live-eighths of the body. Two pairs of anal-shields, the central pair of moderate size, elongated; the external pair very large. The vertical is pointedly linguate. One præ-, and two post-oculars. The third, fourth, and fifth labials enter the orbit on one side, but only the third and the fourth on the opposite side; the fifth being transversely divided into two shields, which do not reach quite as high as the orbital margin. Two pairs of large chin-shields, the anterior pair quadrangular and the posterior pair rather elongated; olive-yellow above, yellowish on the scales and under surface; sixty-two broad black bands on the back contracting to a point on the sides, but prolonged very indistinctly on to them and the ventral aspect, where they expand as a large blackish spot. Near the tail the dorsal bands become connected together, and their continuations on the ventral aspect follow a similar arrangement. Six black rings on the tail, confluent below; the latter third entirely black. Hooghly, below Calcutta. Length (total) 4 feet, 5" 6", tail 4" 3". The peculiarity of this species is its elongated body, the uniform breadth which it preserves throughout its length and the enlarged and smooth ventrals, It is found in the tidal streams near Calcutta (Fayrer).

HYDROPHIS JERDONII.
Dr. Anderson describes this species as follows:-
"Head short, with the snout declivous and rather pointed; body of moderate length. Frontal shields small, not much larger than præ-ocular; one post-ocular; five upper labial shields, the third and fourth of which enter the orbit, the last below the post-ocular; two or three large temporals on the side of each occipital, the anterior of which enters the labial margin behind the fifth labial shield. Two pairs of chin-shields, in contact with one another. Scales imbricate, large, higher than long, with apex slightly truncated; each scale with a strong keel; they are disposed in fifteen or seventeen series round the neck, and in nineteen or twenty-one in the middle of the body. Ventral shields distinct, but not twice as large as the scales of the adjoining series, bituberculate 235-238 in number. Anal shields small; terminal scale of the tail large. A series of seven simple teeth behind the grooved fang in front. Trunk with from thirty-four to thirty-eight black cross-bands, broadest on the back and extending to the belly in young and half-grown specimens."

# The Poisonous Snakes of India/ENHYDRINA BENGALENSIS

(Upload an image to replace this placeholder.)
ENHYDRINA BENGALENSIS.
Russell's description of this species of Enhydrina is given below:--"Head rather short, of moderate width; neck and body moderately elongate. Rostral shield very small, lobuliform, its projecting point fitting into a corresponding cavity of the lower jaw; the fourth upper labial shield below the eye; mental shield very narrow and long, situated in a groove; anterior lower labials much elongate; throat covered with scales, without shields. One post-ocular, sometimes divided into two. Neck surrounded by forty-eight series of scales. Scales scarcely imbricate, hexagonal, each provided with a short keel; ventral shields not, or but little, different from the scales of the adjoining series; they are 284-314 in number. Terminal scale of the tail rather large. The young has broad black rhombic bands across the back, which become fainter with age, and finally disappear entirely."
"The fang of Enhydrina," says Sir Joseph Fayrer, "is short, but well marked; the groove is open part of its length, but not throughout. The body is somewhat compressed, the belly carinate; the tail flat and compressed, almost like a fish's fin; the nostrils vertical; the eyes small *** One (Enhydrina) was made to close its jaws on a fowl, and it killed it in seven minutes. Some hours after its death its jaws were forcibly closed on a fowl's thigh, and the bird died in four hours. The poison is evidently very virulent." According to Fayrer it measures from thirty-six to forty-eight inches. It is common in the tidal waters of the Sunderbunds and in the Bay of Bengal.
# The Poisonous Snakes of India/PLATURUS FISCHERI

(Upload an image to replace this placeholder.)
PLATURUS FISCHERI.
Günther describes this species as follows:-
“No azygos shield between the posterior frontals, scales of the front part of the trunk in nineteen longitudinal series; ventral shields 232-241. Trunk surrounded by from thirty-three to thirty-six black rings, which are broader than the interspaces. A black band crosses the occiput and extends forward over the vertical plate and over the lower jaw, but, generally, it is not confluent with the next following ring. The upper part of tho snout yellow; upper labials black."
Dr. John Anderson, the distinguished Director of the Indian Museum, Calcutta, furnished Sir Joseph Fayrer with the following description of what he considered to be a specimen of P. Fischeri in the Museum:-
“The specimen which I provisionally refer to this species has nineteen rows of smooth scales round the fore part of the trunk, in longitudinal series, and 235 ventrals. There is no azygos shield between the posterior frontals, and in all of these characters it agrees with this species. But on comparing the head with Gunther's drawing, I find that the anterior frontals in my specimen differ from it, in being long and pointed anteriorly, and considerably larger than the posterior pair, and in the vertical being proportionally larger than in P. Fischeri, and the occipitals larger and more pointed. It has one præ-, and two post-oculars, and the third and fourth labials are below the eye. Two pairs of large chin-shields, the posterior shields with a large scale between their posterior extremities. It also differs from P. Fischeri in having fifty-six black rings round the trunk instead of thirty-six, but I do not attach much importance to this, as P. sculatus shows about an equal variation; but at the same time, Günther's statement that his eight ​specimens show the same assemblage of characters as laid down in his description, and the occurrence of fifty-six rings in my specimen, suggest that their multiplicity is either due to greater age (it measures forty-nine inches in length) or to variation. The head too is wholly black, with the exception of a yellow band from the posterior margin of one eye to the other. The upper surface is olive green, and the sides and belly rich dark gamboge yellow, and the fifty-six rings are intensely bluish-black, and the scales generally have a very bright shining lustre. It was from Tolly's Nullah, a tidal stream near Calcutta. The largest of Günther's eight specimens measured thirty inches."
