Instantly I snatch'd off my wig, and threw it perpendicularly, with all imaginable violence, up to the top of the room--indeed I caught it as it fell----but there was an end of the matter; nor do I think anything else in _Nature_ would have given such immediate ease: She, dear Goddess, by an instantaneous impulse, in all _provoking cases_, determines us to a sally of this or that member--or else she thrusts us into this or that place or posture of body, we know not why ----But mark, madam, we live amongst riddles and mysteries----the most obvious things, which come in our way, have dark sides, which the quickest sight cannot penetrate into; and even the clearest and most exalted understandings amongst us find ourselves puzzled and at a loss in almost every cranny of nature's works: so that this, like a thousand other things, falls out for us in a way, which tho' we cannot reason upon it--yet we find the good of it, may it please your reverences and your worships----and that's enough for us.

Instantly I snatched off my wig, and threw it with all my force up to the ceiling - indeed I caught it as it fell - but there was an end of the matter. I do not think anything else in Nature would have given such immediate ease. She, dear Goddess, in provoking cases, thrusts us into this or that posture, we know not why - but we live amongst riddles and mysteries; though we cannot reason upon it - yet we benefit from it - and that's enough.
