[The following verses appear amidst a lengthy discourse on
life and death in an anonymous letter to the editor
. . . [6 lines discourse]
Cirales are prais'd, not that abound
In largeness, but th' exactly round;
So life we praise that does excel
Not in much time, but acting well.
. . . [102 lines, discourse, then the following lines
attributed
to Dorax]
He looks uneasy at his future journey
And wishes his boots off again, for fear
of a bad road, and a worse inn at night.
. . . [3 lines, discourse, then the following lines
attributed to Don Sebastian]
O these come up with spirits more resolv'd!
Old venerable Alvarez, well I know him.
See he has drawn a black, and smiles upon it,
As who should say my faith and soul are white,
Tho' my lot swarthy: Now if there be hereafter,
He's happy.
