kape OF Lucrece. FOR some tiihe,
however, his search was in vain: for
there was crowd of noble and follow
ers of the court about the theatre; and
for the space Of some minutes he could
not see disengaged any of the lads OF
the class he was seeking, so fully occu-
pied were they. While thus delayed,
| he saw second cavalier ia the same
predicament, who Immediately ap-
preached and addressed him.
What! Walter! you too here! |
thought you were one Of those invited
to attend her Majesty on the Green
witch party to-day. You should not so
soon have forg gotten your rare good tor
tune. A velvet cloak, and well-shap-
ed leg, have made you at once the roy
al favourite, and won prize for which
the whole court has been vainly sigh
ing! Why thus absent yourself from
the smiles Of the royal Isis?'

Essex will improve the opportunity OF

quarrels with him the other day while
you stood in the presence-chamber,
and he abused you to her face. Nay,
bark! fear not see you would inter
rupt me. But to me it appears not
sufficient that you should have COM
menced, Walter: you must go on.
Remember you, pray, of whom it
is you speak thus, and where it is we

Nonsense! was the reply; none
Of your wise saws for me. See you
not that we are so far alone that none
can oyerhear word between us. For

leigh; for he it was who thus addressed
the Earl Of Southampton. How soon

line, and in whose features reposed the
elements in which the soul sometimes
manifests ITSELF there, while his eye
sparkled with all those evidences Of
genius that poets and painters delight
to detect or imagine in that speaking
organ Of The miEd within. Lowering
his cap with much gracefulness as he
came up, thus bespoke their iavour:-
