Not illustrated. 1802 edition. Excerpt: ... and will thence Disdain restraint, will from his generous heart Borrow new rage, even speciously oppose To reason reason--But it must be done. My own advice, of which I more and more Approve, the strict conditions of the will, Highly demand his marriage with Constantia; Or else her party has a fair pretence And all, at once, is horror and confusion How issue from this maze?--The crowding barons, Here summon'd to the palace, meet already, To pay their homage, and confirm the will.
