CXXV.

Sweet is a legacy, and passing sweet[V]The unexpected death of some old lady,

Or gentleman of seventy years complete,

Who've made "us youth"[61] wait too—too long already,

For an estate, or cash, or country seat,

Still breaking, but with stamina so steady,

That all the Israelites are fit to mob its

Next owner for their double-damned post-obits.[W]
