bad in it something of a

touched the; soul with a reme'Mhrance'of the sad

Spaniards and French by a common calamity. , The
Spaniard, More,thanusnallygrave and sedate, plunged
into a prOlotind inelaneholy, seemed to struggle with
hithSelf whether he should seek
_within his .soul fresh'
resourcei against unwilling enemies, or turn his rage
againSt his yerfidions allies'. The French, on tne

indecent oaths :with those occasional fits of:11104n,

fought like his, the English would have been utterly
defeated.
