I am determined to quit this life.
I feel much ca&longs;ier &longs;ince my determination.
The &longs;tep mu&longs;t not be taken with ra&longs;hne&longs;s.
I mu&longs;t be &longs;teady---calm---collected---I will
endeavour to be &longs;o.—

HER eager &longs;olicitation---the anxiety &longs;he
always expre&longs;&longs;ed for me—When I
think &longs;he is no more, it wrings my heart with
grief, and fills my eyes with tears—

—I MUST go—

THE idea chills me---I am frozen with
horrour---cold damps hang on my

trembling body---My &longs;oul is filled with a thousand
troubled &longs;en&longs;ations—I mu&longs;t depart---
it mu&longs;t be &longs;o---My love for thee, O Harriot!
is dearer than life---Thou ha&longs;t fir&longs;t fat
out---and I am to follow.—

WERE it po&longs;&longs;ible that I could live with her,
&longs;hould I be happy? Would her pre&longs;ence restore
peace and tranquillity to my di&longs;ordered
mind? An no! it never would here—it
never would. I will fly to the place where
&longs;he is gone---our love will there be refined---
it will be freed from all criminality—I will
lay my &longs;orrows before her—and &longs;he &longs;hall
wipe away all tears from my eyes.

WHEN the di&longs;embodied &longs;pirit flies above—
when it leaves behind the &longs;en&longs;ele&longs;s clay, and

wings its flight---it matters not with me
what they do with his remains.

Cover his head with a clod or a &longs;tone,
It is all one—it is all one!—
