From the Universal Magazine. A letter from a dying libertine
to his friend. . . [37 lines] I have often met death
insulting on the hostile plain, and with a stupid boast
defied his terrors; with a courage, as brutal as that of the
warlike horse, I have rushed into the battle, laughed at the
glittering spear, and rejoiced at the sound of the trumpet;
nor had a thought of any state beyond the grave.
