In his private papers and letters.

CCLXXXVII.

Letters that told of dangerous leagues;

And notes that hinted as many intrigues

As the Count's in the "Barber of Seville"—

In short such mysteries came to light,

That the Countess-Bride, on the thirtieth night,

Woke and started up in affright,

And kick'd and scream'd with all her might,

And finally fainted away outright,
