• Atten. Pray of what disease did Mr. Badman die, for now I perceive we are come up to his death? Wise. I cannot so properly say that he died of one disease, for there were many that had consented, and laid their heads together to bring him to his end. He was dropsical, he was consumptive, he was surfeited, was gouty, and, as some say, he had a tang of the pox in his bowels. Yet the captain of all these men of death that came against him to take him away, was the consumption, for it was that that brought him down to the grave.

• Shall hope prevail where clamorous hate is rife,
  Shall sweet love prosper or high dreams have place
  Amid the tumult of reverberant strife

  That mars the grave, glad purposes of life,
  Leaving no refuge save thy succoring face?
