Suffice it, all my successes put together since I have been upon the stage would not come near my success in London; and I only wanted some one of you here to enjoy it with me, to make it complete.
Էջ 355 - I slept soundly till three o'clock, awaked, and then writ these lines : " ' Come, pleasing Rest, eternal Slumber, fall ; Seal mine, that once must seal the eyes of all. Calm and composed my soul her journey takes, No guilt that troubles, and no heart that aches. Adieu ! thou Sun, all bright like her arise ; Adieu ! fair Friends, and all that's good and wise.
