One thing, indeed, l_have only myself m reproach with; that, when
heutiiy tired with your insolent aiss, and haughty impertincnce, I did
not, in spite of your entreaties and tears, immediately break ofl' al] con—
nexions. But who, alas, is sufficient] proofngainst Female antisicc!
My ranson, indeed, as we:] as paltexpenence, timid]! me mv cunfidcncrz
was misplaced; but reason and pnst experience bi-th wert: in. :ipnhlc us
preventing my bdng made the dupc to your calu'ice. The day of our

nothin remains, but the ceremony ----- When ----- Unpis'nleiiedlevity!
.-.--- he highest favouns ! could obtain were ;: constrained behaviour,
_ severelookl, and dishznt civililies; end, in the end, an open and formal
. i—enunciation of all those solemn engagements, entered into only a few
days before.
Upon this, Madam, you remember, l quietly took my leave; rather
congratulating myself for such happy escape, than iiiclulginig the chaglin
ofa dish pointed over; 'yersuaded, that he who loses a tcsicr, and such
: mish'e !, has only loft lix-mce.
I am' so much :: philosop , Madnm, as freely to forgive you for
falling into the ways of the fantasiic, hckle, and nsiifling part of your
,.3 sex; in which your vznity tempted you, and your talent:; cnabkd you,
to appear to advantage; but had l been in your place, and you in mine,
I think I could never forgive myself such treacherous behaviour to one
that had loved me, and whom I had encouraged to depend on my affec
tions, only that ! might have an opportunity to disappoint and betray
? I find no distress, Madam, in banishing the idea of your ill usage and
im. . .
you from my breast; and it shall go hard with me, if, among the
numerous end!: of your seat, created to mine the joys and soslen the
eares of life b the most eeable participation, ! do not quickly find
one mote wortly of my p tom, than the fickle, vein, perfidious one I
have abandoned; of whom I shall only say, that,
Were I to curse the man I hate, ]]
ss A bride like thee, should be his sate.
