"Then her La Motte, that Favourite of her Soul, on all the Racks of Expectation, the Disappointment would distract his Sense; What would he, could he judge from this cool Conduct? And should he by a manly Boldness venture, she dreaded the meant Visit might be fatal. Distrest by a confused Medley of thinking, she threw herself carelesly on a Couch, where amid a Chaos of Reflection, she slept, if, we can properly be said to sleep, (when the Mind fir'd by warring Passions, dreams 'em o'er again) the Chamber Door had but negligently fell too, for the unthinking Amira, unmindful of all things but the dear lov'd Man, had forgot to lock it; when an Accident we shall leave as yet surpriz'd her.

"Imagination is the Paphian shop,
Where feeble Happiness, like Vulcan, lame,
Bids foul Ideas, in their dark recess,
And hot as hell, (which kindled the black fires,)
With wanton art, those fatal arrows form
Which murder all thy time, health, wealth, and fame.
Wouldst thou receive them, other Thoughts there are,
On angel-wing, descending from above,
Which these, with art Divine, would counterwork,
And form celestial armour for thy peace.
