The scene shuts up with loss of breath, 35
And leaves no epilogue but death.
Henry King.
CIX
PARAPHRASE FROM SENECA.
Let him that will, ascend the tottering seat
Of courtly grandeur, and become as great
As are his mounting wishes: as for me,
Let sweet repose and rest my portion be;
Give me some mean obscure recess, a sphere 5
Out of the road of business, or the fear
