Excerpt from Paul Clifford, Vol. 2 of 2
Falsehood in him was not the useless lie
Of boasting pride or laughing vanity, -
It was the gainful the persuading art; &c.
Crabbe.
On with the horses - off to Canterbury,
Tramp - tramp o'er pebble and splash splash thro' puddle -
Hurrah! - how swiftly speeds the post so merry!
Here laws are all inviolate! - none lay
Traps for the traveller - every highway's clear
Here; - he was interrupted by a knife,
With "Damn your eyes - your money or your life!"
Don Juan. Misfortunes are like the creations of Cadmus - they destroy one another!
