TO Go OR NO TO Go.-This appears to be
very pcrplcxing question for the Pope to de.

than single life; it hath not more ease, but
less danger; it is more merry and more sad !;
it is fuller of sorrows and fuller of joys; it
lies under more burden, but is supported by

the present constitution of the world.
