And at my sobhing heart there's something too, Whispering within, that men are seldom true. Sir Char. Witness with me, yo gods I who rule (he sky, How far my nature is beyond a lie ; If I dissemble, may I ever be, A sad example to posterity ! When first your fair angelic form I riewed, The god of love my liberty subdued, From your fair eyes ho stole a fatal dart, And sheathed it rocking in my captive heart. Nothing therefore can end my ragmg pain, Unless for love you grant mo love ag-ain ; For if you do my fervent suit deny. I like the phoenix iii my nest will fry, 'Till cruel death ^hall finish all the strife, And I in scorching llames give up my life ; Then as my ghost to p;iradisc shall go, I'll praise tnat heaven in you 1 leave below.

Well- -he must be closetted, as he puts Deny into our hands : nothino* will absolve him of liis hypocritiotil oath, but some pen- ance and absolution from annthcr cliurch. The kina can- not give him less than 2 or £3000 ver ann. of tho for- feited sliare of tliose in England. What an anny shall •we have in two month-,' time ! 50,000 out of Ireland 20,000 in Scotland, led by Lord Dundee, and as many of the loyalists of England and Scotland, besides what the French iving will send us- Those people of England, that is the Parliament, are busy in settling the succession of the crown : th(>y little think that we are so near them and that the scheme of tlnir contrivances was laid by the cabinet council of France. Did they think that King James taking a journey from France, thig winter time, was for nothing ? No, 'tis for what will make their hearts ache, and their estates fly, when we enter England with fire and sword. Ram. 'Tis very probable and will shortly come to pass,, for there is nothing- to hinder it.

Dor. 1 told you you'd do no good against him : this is the third time he brought up the rear of their flymg army.

You see, f,'ent!einen our men will not fiicht ; be- sides the straiohfness of otir provisions, tliat wiM not ex- ceed 9 or 10 days, if all the unnecessary mouths were turned out of town ; .To tliat I think most consistent with therr maj .si„>s' servico, that tlie principal oHloers that are lett, withdraw and leave the kingdom; that by this m(!ans the inljal.-tanta and others may miilce the bos^ conditions they can lor thems-Ivos, to which p'lrpose V\X prepare passes realy signed for them, ai. 1 for t ho two English I ogiments that arc on board ; I have sufficiently satisfied them that they are preparmg to return back to' England without so much as landing.

But 'lis hard to have our governor, this f^enoral of ours, > be of their side, betrayin- us into" their hands. 'Tis too long to tell you all the passajres.

He be.it them, their of- ficers beat them ; I saw the chief officer lire his pistol, nothiiij^ would mai?e tlieni charge tlie second time, we gave tliem two or three liuzzas and luarrdied away, with drums beating and colors flying. I never met with such cowardlj rogues in my life. I'd engage with one inindred to beat five. Three or four of their hoises threw tiieir riders, and are amongst our men, and brought into the town. A.VT. Now «e are mot again, we will partake of each other's conditions, wiiethjr good or bad, as Trovidence shall dir.'ct us. Gu.vx. We are not without hope, we are capably to de- fend this town, till hunger forces us to surrender. Ant. We have a great quantity i.f provisions in the town, for every house is a store ; for ail the governor has certified to the enemy that there is not 9 days' pro- vision in the town. Ev,\x.

They desire likewise that none of your troops may advance n.earer to the ,town, than where tliey are, till all be oncluded. Ham. Truly, for conditions, I think they deserve none ; however, to save his majesty any further trouble, some- thing or other will be done, but I am afraid nut to their satistaetion ; and for the njarchin-j;- of the army before the town, if that be of any service to them, I promise they shall not. So to-morrow come and lake such conditions as we'll give you. Delay not the time of coming and dispatch, for to-morrow night the king is to lodge in Der- ry.

Dor, I think there ought to be no conditions out sure rendering on discretion. Shel- I aai much oi y.i>c same opinion ; why should the «ing give any conditions to such rebels, that have all along bore arms against him in open rebellion, and ia contempt of the government. 'Tis a great undervaluing of his majesty to condescend to anything but hi^s own pleasure ; 'twill be an ill example for future limes. DcR.
