An Irish Tale

CHICA LINARY

BY

LADY MORGAN,

AUTHOR OF FRANCE,' "" O'DONNEL," &c.

Know thus far forth:

By accident most strange, bountiful fortune,
Now, my dear lady, hath mine enemies
Brought to this shore: and by my prescience,
I find my zenith doth depend upon

A most auspicious star, whose influence,
If now 1 court not but omit, my fortunes
Will ever after droop.

SHAKESPEARE.

Les femmes ne sont pas trop d'humeur à pardonner de
certaines injures, et quand elles se promettent le plaisir de la
vengeance elles n'y vont pas de main-morte.

DE GRAMMONT.
