ON FORTUNE.

ORTUNE, they say, doth give too much to many:
And yet she never gave enough to any.

Sir John Haryngton (1561-1612).

DO not speak of this mole in any tone of complaint. I desire to write nothing against him which I should wish to recall at the last,—nothing foreign to the spirit of that beautiful saying of the dying boy, "He had no copybook, which, dying, he was sorry he had blotted."
