I pray, before you leave this life, + Extend forgiveness to my injured wife. + Why cast her from your presence? Say the cause? + Faithful she's kept the strict connubial law's. + The seven years I pass'd with her in love, + She e'er a faithful, virtuous wife did prove. + Was she too gay in dress to please your mind, + That you to her so long have been unkind? + Did she too much in company appear? + She scarcely did that twice or thrice a year. + I'm told you say her manners were too high: + 'Twas you who view'd her with a scornful eye; + And that because she'd little store of wealth, + Which still was lessen'd to improve her health. + Say, should the want of wealth produce such strife, + When virtue only guided her through life? + I loved her: though her fortune was so scant, + Her fond endearment made me feel no want; + And spite of all that malice yet has done, + We are, though parted, still two hearts in one. + What was it then that canker'd thus your mind, + And made you to her many virtues blind? + Why did she ever sullen pride receive? + Contempt a female heart must ever grieve. + Th'unfeeling world, when adverse gales prevail, + Arraign your conduct, at your actions rail: + Should fortune smile, your company they'll crave, + And swear you may their all command and have; + But should a change of fortune e'er take place, + Their friendship's gone, and they'll e'en shun your face: + So long as you a guinea free can spend, + Talk nonsense, and drink hard, you'll be a friend: + They'll say you're clever, generous, and wise; + But, if you're poor, the same will you despise. + Creatures like such too many have I found, + And sorry am so many still abound. + Fathers, like other men, will change with times, + And, when it nothing costs, will wink at crimes; + But if assistance you should ever crave, + Their answer is, 'I wish you in the grave.' + My worthy sire will part with good advice, + But with his guineas is extremely nice; + For me cares little, but too much for's store: + He only grieves because it is not more; + And once when he was bidding me adieu, + Said 'twas much cheaper to keep one than two, + Meaning to say he grudged to keep my wife: + This was the logic he had learn'd in life. + Had nature gifted him with callous heart, + Less tender feeling could he e'er impart? + But to return to female cause again: + Why should she from me sever'd still remain? + The only cause I have her not in view + Is the contempt she e'er received from you. + When at your house, she such did ever find: + 'Twas that alone which hurt her peace of mind. + Not long ago she came yourself to see; + But did you ask her any thing of me? + In tears she told you I was in distress: + You with much anger did such words express: + ''Tis half your fault,' said you with scornful brow. + That charge is false, the world and I well know. + Nor did you to her any time impart + Sweet consolation to assuage her heart; + But cheerful went abroad your friends to see, + While home she kept to brood on misery. + One fault she did commit, I've heard you say: + 'Twas without leave quitting your house one day; + But why she did so, was to each one plain: + Who with such treatment could with you remain? + Oft is the world deceived by artful mien: + The real temper must at home be seen. + Your's I've experienced, and that times not few, + And it has forced me oft to flee from you. + When pride of wealth becomes our only God, + We deal with others with an iron rod. + Had you, when I in bus'ness spent the day, + Ta'en up some bills, or any debts then pay, + I had done well; but you, to save your pelf, + Left me to grapple with the world myself. + For charities' sake, another way pursue, + That, as I wish, I may speak well of you: + To wretched son and wife your hand extend: + Fulfil your promise: then you'll be my friend. + Give us for once but wherewithal to toil, + And we'll with industry improve the soil: + Speak but your wish; I'll work on any plan, + And prove myself a grateful, honest man. + + [Picture: Decorative image] + + + + +LINES +ON +THE DEATH OF LORD NELSON. + + + * * * * * + + The fleets of haughty France and Spain + No more will triumph on the main, + Though Nelson is no more: + Our hero's blood was dearly bought; + To conquer them he bravely fought, + And died in vict'ry's arms. + + 'We'll avenge his death,' all seamen cry, + 'We'll fight, we'll conquer, or we'll die, + And e'er their force deride: + Our little ones shall lisp his name, + And to acquire a Nelson's fame + Shall ever be their pride.' + + Before cold death had closed his eyes, + Cover'd with wounds, the hero cries, + 'Is victory our own?' + 'We've conquer'd,' cried the valiant crew. + He smiling bade them all adieu, + And died without a groan. + + Yet, ere he flew, he did enquire, + How many ships were then on fire, + And others that had struck: + Well pleased the hero then was seen, + When told the number was fifteen; + For England was his care. + + Then with a bright benignant smile, + Imploring blessings on our isle, + Bade Collingwood farewell: + To the Supreme, all good and just, + His ashes we consign, in trust, + They'll be revived in heav'n. + + + + +WRITTEN EXTEMPORE, +_On Receipt of a Letter_, _dated Sept._ 26, 1806. + + + I've read your letter o'er and o'er again, + Happy to find you faithful do remain, + Besides forgiveness; though too much I fear, + I long have made you victim to despair. + You say two years with fervency I strove + To keep affection, constancy, and love; + But soon as crosses came upon my mind, + Was careless of you, and appear'd unkind. + I knew my home was neat, serene, and nice; + But, ah! that home I lost, allured by vice. + Soon as you fled, a different scene in view, + Gone all attention soon as I lost you. + The quick retort was always in my ears, + You've drown'd a virtuous wife in sorrow's tears. + Soon as I found all hopes to meet you fled, + I pray'd I might be number'd with the dead: + Oblivion's aid I oft invoked by drink, + I could not meditate nor dared to think. + You say it cost you tears to write to me; + But they'll disperse when you a convert see. + Long I've invoked a pardon from above, + To make me worthy of the wife I love: + Return, and till my days are at an end, + I'll prove protector, guardian, and a friend. + The converse delicate, the smile sincere, + Will check the sigh, and stop the rising tear; + Cheerful as formerly we'll pass our life, + A happy husband I, and you the wife. + + [Picture: Decorative finis] + + * * * * * + +_Kitton_, _Printer_, _Norwich_. + + + + +***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE BANKRUPT*** + + +******* This file should be named 32275.txt or 32275.zip ******* + + +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: +http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/3/2/2/7/32275 + + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: +http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5.
