LXXXVI.

But what, and where, with whom, and when, and why,

Is not to be put hastily together;

And as my object is Morality

(Whatever people say), I don't know whether

I'll leave a single reader's eyelid dry,

But harrow up his feelings till they wither,

And hew out a huge monument of pathos,

As Philip's son proposed to do with Athos.[650]
