where heroes lie,
Force you with horror to recede
From such a sacrilegious deed?
Go, spread it to the winds of heaven,
That they, who to our isle have giv'n
Their blood, their services, their breath,
Sleep in dishonoured graves in Death.
REX.
_Eccentric Physician._--When Bailly, (physician to Henry IV. of France,)
perceived he was about to die, he called his servants to him singly, and
gave to each of them a portion, first of his money, then of his plate
and furniture, bidding them, as soon as they had taken what he had given
them, to leave the house, and see him no more. When the physicians came
to visit him, they told him they had found his door open, the servants
and the furniture removed and gone, nothing in fact remaining, but the
bed on which he lay. Then the doctor, taking leave of his physicians,
said, "Since my baggage is packed up and gone, it is time that I should
also go." He died the same day, November 5th, 1605.
