I remain confounded^
My friend,this is not thehif
tory of the events of my life ;
they are little worthy to be re
lated; it is the hiftory of my
passions, of my feelings, of my
ideas. Suffer me to speak at
large of the most terrible re
volution that ever my heart
experienced.
The greater wounds of the
body, do not bleed the moment
In social Chat the hours by day,
With gay compeers we'll pass away,
Nor know a thought that pains ;
At night we'll sport, of whist and Ito,
With ball and concert charms pursue,
In crowds of nymphs and swains;
And when mild spring returns again,
To robe with verdure hill and plain,
And bid the grove delight;
With equal haste, we'll then, my fair,
To this, now gloomy, will repair,
And joy shall crown the flight.
CLEON.
THINK not my Enna, e'er to rife,
Nor hope to win by those fair eyes,
If Hander you embrace;
For know,that she who Handers friends,
Or hears them wrong'd and not defends,
Shall meet deferve'd disgrace.
Lay not the basis of. yout fame
On ruins of another's name,
Nor envy merit's praise.
Be virtue your unerring guide,
Gain one true friend, in her confide,
Till death wind up your days.
SOPHIA.
Haste then my Delia, haste away,
Nought here remains to urge thy stay ;
Haste to the jaunty town ;
There bliss, in one continual tide.
Shall with our moments rapt'rous glide,
Uncheck'd by winter's frown.

And Flora's train, in wild dismay,

lam ignorant how long I
remained in this situation, on
my knees, and without daring
to move, left 1 should discover
that all which had happened
was not a dream. I wish that
this state of ftupefaaion had
lasted for ever. Being roused
at length, my firft sensation
was an inexplicable horror for
every thing that surrounded
me. I rife immediately, I rush
out of the room and down
stairs, without feeing any
thing, without (peaking to any
one ; I get out into the street,
and, with hasty strides, fly
away with the rapidity of a
stag, which thinks, to avoid,
by his velocity, thedart he car
ries bpried in his'fide.
Thus I ran without flop
ping, without moderating my
flight, into a publick garden.
The fight of day, and of the
heavens, was a burthen to me,
I fought for darknels under the
trees: at length being out of
breath,! let my felf fall half dead
upon the grass : Where am I ?
What is become of me ? What
have I heard? What a catas
trophe? Madam! What achi
mera have you followed? Love,
honour, faith, virtue, what is
become of you; The elevated,
the noble Sophia, i§ nothing
but a proftitue! This excla
mation, extorted by despair,
was followed by such agonies
of mind, that, choaked with
my fobs, my breath and utte
rance remained , suspended.
Had it not been for the storm
of passion that followed, this
agony would have strangled
me, O who could express that
conflict of different sensations,
which shame, love, rage, sor
row, pity, jealousy, railed all at
once in my mind. No; such
a situation, such a war of pal
fions,cannot be described. The
intoxications of exteme joy,
which by an uniform progres
sion seems to dilate, and as it
were, rarefy our whole being,
we easily conceive. But when
excessive anguish assembles in
the breast of a single wretch
all the furies of hell; when,
wounded on every fide by a
thousand different flings, he
they are given, nor is the pain
they occasion, immediate!
felt. Nature collets all her
force to sustain its violence,
and the mortal wound is often
given before it is felt. At this
unexpected scene, at thele
words which my ears Teemed
to shut out, I remain motion
lefs,annihilated ; toy eyes close,
a deadly cold runs through my
veins ; without fainting, I feel
all my senses benumbed,all my
faculties fuipehded ; and uni
versal anarchy reigns in my
mind, like the chaotic appear
ance of a changing theatre,
when the present scene disap
pears, to give place to a hew
creation.
