Craftain, to him, with a letter and present of jewels; these he faithfully delivered, and playing an Irish air on his harp, sung a poem to it, composed by the lady, in the general's praise. This adventure determined Maoin to prosecute his rights to the Irish monarchy. This by the assistance of France, he speedily accomplished, and afterwards married the lady who had first inspired him with this resolution.

love! yes, my dear Don Juan ! fortune once more permits me to write your name; I say once more, for if I may credit my foreboding fears, we shall soon be separated for ever. My uncle and duenna, for some days past, seem to watch over me with a more scrutinizing eye than usual-if they should have discovered-alas! I know not what I fear-if I must die, come, and let me breathe my last sigh on your bosom; you shall, see with what fortitude I can bear the greatest calamities, when folded in your arms, and assured of your constancy: come at midnight in your usual disguise; you shall be anxious. ly expected by
