"My body's like a bankrupt's shop,
My creditor is cruel death,
Who puts to trade of life a stop,
And will be paid with this last breath; Oh!"

Apparently O'Hara made no further use of his predecessors.

In spite of the fact that "Translated from the French" appeared on the
title-page, Mrs. Haywood has hitherto been accredited with the full
authorship of these letters. They were really a loose translation of
_Lettres Nouvelles.... Avec Treize Lettres Amoureuses d'une Dame à un
Cavalier_ (Second Edition, Paris, 1699) by Edme Boursault, and were so
advertised in the public prints.

Probably a misprint. When the novels appeared, _Idalia_ was the
Unfortunate Mistress, _Lasselia_ the Self-abandon'd. Perhaps because the
work outgrew its original proportions, or because short novels found a
readier sale, the five were never published under the inclusive
cautionary caption.

Mrs. Haywood's novels, _The City Jilt_, was ever issued in cheap form.
