Swan-like in dying,
Sang his last song,
When at his heart-strings
Death's hand was strong," &c.
Jaydee.
Will O' the Wisp (Vol. v., p. 511.).—Will O' the Wisp still lives by the banks of Trent; but alas! his reign is almost over. Fifty years ago he might be seen nightly dancing over bog and brake; but since the process of warping has been discovered, which has made valuable property of what was before a morass, nearly the whole of the commons between Gainsborough and the Humber have been brought into cultivation, and the drainage consequent thereon has nearly banished poor Will.
Any person wishing to make his acquaintance would probably succeed, if he were to pass a night next November on Brumby or Scotton common.
