But it is now full time, indeed, that we should return to the Duchess of Tyrconnel, and accompany that amiable lady and her highly gifted daughter, the lovely Adelaide, in their voyage and journey; from whom the occurrences of important political events and the fatal scenes of war, have too long detained us, but of whom an account may be found in the succeeding chapter.
CHAPTER V.
Nos patriæ fines, et dulcia linquimus arva;
Nos patriam fugimus.
Virgil.
Round the wide world in banishment we roam,
Forc'd from our pleasing fields and happy home.
Dryden's Translation.
