Kingston, in Jamaica, July 6. . . A gentleman in town having
receiv'd a letter acquainting him with the death of his wife
and mistress, and his favourite horse, made these
reflections;
  I have lost my mistress, horse and wife!
  But when I think on human life,
  I am glad it is no worse:
  My wife was ugly, and a scold;
  My Cloe was grown lean and old,
  I am sorry for my horse.
