The following piece, (taken from the Barbados Gazette) is an
extract of a letter wrote by a gentleman of parts and
learning to his friend, on his having had the misfortune to
stab one of his acquaintance to the heart, of which he
instantly died: And since it is finely wrote, and discovers
the most sincere contrition for the offence, even after the
danger of punishment was over, we cannot doubt of its being
well received by the publick.
--------The door is shut,
The judge has pass'd the everlasting doom,
Which all created o'rpower can ne'er reverse.
My day's for ever gone, my sun is set
In final darkness, ne'er to rise again.
