Thus we suffer our selves to be blown and toss'd by our Passions, without casting Anchor on the Coast of sound Judgment, or steering to the Harbour of right Reason; for when I made a serious Reflection on this Passage, I found how I had overshot my self, in thus declaring my Passion to her, fearing that her nice Vertue would not let her consent to steal away with me into Italy, after this Overture; yet that was the only Card I had to play in this Juncture, and the Method we had partly resolv'd on some Time before. These, and a thousand Things of this Kind, agitated my Thoughts that Night.

Dear Sir--
MR. EUSTON.
Nay, with every other person 'tis the same thing--If we are stuffed into a coach, with a little chattering pert Miss, ""Oh dear, Mr. Anthony Euston, you must not ride backwards, here is room for you on this seat--and Mr. Euston, I know, will like one seat as well as another""--and then am I put with my back to the horses, though my head is whirling all the time like one of the coach wheels. Then if any thing be lost, or wanted, when no servant is by, ""Mr. Anthony Euston must not stir for the world--but Mr. Euston, they know, will be so kind as to go for it.""--And this is all because I am good natured. Egad! if this is my reward, no wonder there are so few in the world of my temper.
