Expire as the flowers in their cops':

Each minute teems a new one`.

Ros. No;-they were all at peace when I did leave them'.
Mac. Be not a niggard of your speech: How goes it?
Ros. When I came hither to transport the tidings',
Which I have heavily borne', there ran à rumor
Of many worthy fellows, that were out',

Which was', to my belief', witness'd the rather',
For that I saw the tyrants power aloof`.

Now is the time for help: your eye in Scotland',
Would create soldiers';-make our women fight
To doff their dire distress`.

We are coming hither;-gracious England has
Lent us valiant Siword, and two thousand men':
An able and a better soldier', none
That Christendom gives out".

REMARKS, &c.-LESSON 12.

10. Having settled in your mind the general outlines of your plan, make a sketch of it upon paper, or upon a slate. In doing this, pay no regard to your style of penmanship, to accurate spelling, or proper pointing. Distract your mind with none of the nice trimming and turning of your sentences; but let it be wholly employed in giving form and being to the design which you have adopted, without dropping any of its parts, or adding any new members. The progress of the effort, so far, is what is significantly called blocking out the work.

11. The next step is to give it some little polish;--that is, clip off all redundancies, and supply all omissions; apply the rules of syntax to each word, and the rules of punctuation to every sentence, and introduce the appropriate capital letters; examine your choice of terms and phrases, the spelling of each word, and the order and arrangement of the sentences and their members;-finally, transcribe the whole in a fair and legible hand, and lay it by carefully for future comparison.

12. This course may seem, at first, dry and tedious; but after a little practice, some parts of the polishing portion will become perfectly intuitive; such as the spelling, the pointing, the use of capital letters, and the grammatical arrangement, agreement, and government of words: And, in addition to this, you will have adopted and established a systematic course of considering all subjects. To this course your mind will recur on future occasions, and it will be found of incalculable advantage in almost every department of life.

13 Nothing valuable is obtained in this world without labour, care, and patient perseverence, and no temporal acquirement is better worth these pains than that of a ready, perspicuous, and correct style of writing. Knowledge is

power; and this kind of knowledge, has enabled thousands, possessed of very inferior bodily powers, to wield immense machines.

Scene between Macduff, &c. Continued,

Rose. Would I could answer

[ocr errors]

This comfort with the like! But I have words,

That should be howled out in the desert',
Where hearing could not catch them`.

Mac. What concern they?

The general cause? or is it a free-grief',
Due to some single breast'?

Ros. No mind', that's honest',

But it shares some wo'; though the main part
Pertains to you alone`.

Mac. If it be mine',

Keep it not from me: quickly let me have it'

Ros. Let not your ears despise my tongue for ever', Which shall possess them of the heaviest sound That ever yet they heard`.

Mac. Hum! I guess at it'.

Ros. Your castle is surprised'; your wife, and babes', Savagely slaughtered: to relate the manner',

Were', on the quarry of these murdered deer',

To add the death of you`.

Mal. Merciful heaven!

What'! man', ne'er pull your hat upon your brow'.
Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak',
Whispers the o'er-fraught heart', and bids it break`.
Mac. My children too'?

Ros. Wife, children`, servants`, all

That could be found'.

Mac. And I must be from thence!

My wife killed too'!

Ros. I have said.

Mal. Be comforted':

Let's make us medicine of our great revenge',

To cure this deadly grief.

Mac. He has no children.-All

Did you say all?-O', hell-kite!

my pretty ones'?

-All?

What', all my pretty chickens', and their dam'

At one fell swoop'?

Mal. Dispute it like a man'.

Mac. I shall do so.

But I must also feel it like a man`:

I cannot but remember such things were',

That were most precious to me.--Did heaven look on
And would not take their part'? Sinful Macduff',
They were all struck for thee! nought that I am','
Not for their own demerits, but for mine`,

Fell slaughter on their souls:-Heaven rest them now!
Mal. Be this the whetstone of your sword`; let grief
Convert to anger, blunt not the heart', enrage it'.
Mac. O', I could play the woman with mine eyes',
And braggart with my tongue!-But', gentle heaven'
Cut short all intermission; front to front',
Bring thou this friend of Scotland', and myself;
Within my sword's length set him; if he 'scape':
Heaven forgive him too!
