"I go, he said, but still my Friends shall say, ""Twas as a Man-I did not sneak away; "An honest life, with worthy Souls I've spent,66 Come, fill my glass:'-he took it and he went.

"Poor Dolly Murrey !-I might live to see "My hundredth year and not such Lass as she. "Easy by nature, in her Humour gay, "She chose her comforts, Ratafia and Play: "She loved the social Game, the decent Glass, "And was a jovial, friendly, laughing Lass ; "We sat not then at Whist demure and still, "But past the pleasant hours at gay Quadrille : "Lame in her Side, we plac'd her in her seat, "Her Hands were free, she car'd not for her Feet; "As the Game ended, came the Glass around, "(So was the Loser cheer'd, the Winner crown'd). "Mistress of Secrets, both the Young and Old "In her confided-not a Tale she told; "Love never made impression on her Mind, "She held him babish and his Captives blind; "She suffer'd no Man her free Soul to vex, "Her Sexe's Pattern, without thoughts of Sex; "Our timid Girls and Lovers half afraid,

"All shunn'd the Speeches of the frank old Maid.

"Once in her chair we'd plac'd the good old Lass, "Where first she took her Preparation-Glass ; "By lucky thought she'd been that day at Prayers, "And long before had fix'd her small Affairs ; "So all was easy-on her Cards she cast

"A smiling look; I saw the thought that past :

"" A King,' she call'd--though conscious of her skill, "Do more,' I answer'd- More,' she said, 'I will ;' "And more she did-Cards answer'd to her call, "She saw the mighty to her mightier fall: "A vole! a vole!' she cried, "'tis fairly won, "My Game is ended and my Work is done;'"This said, she gently, with a single sigh, "Died as one taught and practis'd how to die.

"Such were the Dead-departed; I survive, "To breathe in pain among the Dead-alive.”

The Bell then call'd these antient Men to pray, "Again," said Benbow,-" tolls it every Day? "Where is the Life I led?"-He sigh'd and walk'd his way.
