BOOK VIII.
O Fate! O Heaven!—what have ye then decreed?
SOPHOCLES: OEd. Tyr. 738.
"Insolent pride . . .
. . . . . .
The topmost crag of the great precipice
Surmounts—to rush to ruin."
Ibid. 874.
CHAPTER I.
. . . SHE is young, wise, fair,
In these to Nature she's immediate heir.
. . . . . .
. . . Honours best thrive
When rather from our acts we them derive
Than our foregoers!—All's Well that Ends Well.
