Plague on it! I can write no more of this eloquent nonsense myself;
which rather shows a raised, than a quenched, imagination: but Dorcas
shall transcribe the others in separate papers, as written by the
whimsical charmer: and some time hence when all is over, and I can
better bear to read them, I may ask thee for a sight of them. Preserve
them, therefore; for we often look back with pleasure even upon the
heaviest griefs, when the cause of them is removed.
