Footnotes

[313:1] The following lines are copied from the pillar erected on the mount in the Dane John Field, Canterbury:—

Where is the man who has the power and skill

To stem the torrent of a woman's will?

For if she will, she will, you may depend on 't;

And if she won't, she won't; so there 's an end on 't.

The Examiner, May 31, 1829.

Just men, by whom impartial laws were given;

And saints who taught and led the way to heaven.

On the Death of Mr. Addison. Line 41.

Nor e'er was to the bowers of bliss conveyed

A fairer spirit or more welcome shade.

On the Death of Mr. Addison. Line 45.

There taught us how to live; and (oh, too high

The price for knowledge!) taught us how to die.[313:2]

On the Death of Mr. Addison. Line 81.

The sweetest garland to the sweetest maid.

To a Lady with a Present of Flowers.

I hear a voice you cannot hear,

Which says I must not stay;

I see a hand you cannot see,

Which beckons me away.

Colin and Lucy.
