Her hangers-on cut short all,
Her doctors found, when she was dead--
Her last disorder mortal.

For Kent Street well may say,

XXIII. KING CHARLES II AND WILLIAM PENN.

King Charles. Well, friend William! I have sold you a noble province in
North America; but still, I suppose you have no thoughts of going thither
yourself?

Penn. Yes, I have, I assure thee, friend Charles; and I am just come to
bid thee farewell.

K.C. What! venture yourself among the savages of North America! Why, man,
what security have you that you will not be in their war kettle in two
hours after setting foot on their shores?
