[FRAGMENTS OF TALES OF THE HALL.]

“Are there not some things, B[rother], that will seem

Like very Truth and yet like very dream;

That we are ever at a Loss to find,

Are they of fact or are they of the mind?”


“Again a walk, dear R[ichard,] and so long?

Would not M[atilda] tell you, it is wrong,

That she so little of the Man behold,

The Slave rebellious or the Lover cold?
