_Yorick_ scarce ever heard this sad vaticination of his destiny read over to him, but with a fear stealing from his eye, and a promissory look attending it, that he was resolved, for the time to come, to ride his tit with more sobriety. --But, alas, too late! --a grand confederacy, with ***** and ***** at the head of it, was formed before the first prediction of it. --The whole plan of the attack, just as _Eugenius_ had foreboded, was put in execution all at once, --with so little mercy on the side of the allies, --and so little suspicion in _Yorick_, of what was carrying on against him, --that when he thought, good easy man! full surely preferment was o' ripening, --they had smote his root, and then he fell, as many a worthy man had fallen before him.

Yorick scarce ever heard this sad lecture without fear and promises to act more soberly. But, alas, too late! - A grand confederacy, with ***** and ***** at its head, was already formed. The plan of the attack, just as Eugenius had foreboded, was put in execution with so little mercy on the side of the allies, and so little suspicion in Yorick of what was going on, that when he thought, good easy man! that surely preferment was ripening - they cut him down at root, and then he fell.
