Beau.--Let us go then, old boy! I will try what a little flattery will do with them! I can _say with Cæsar_, I wonder what fear is!--(Aside) But my heart plaguily misgives me for _all that_! but in my circumstances I must change for the better; my money is gone; and as I never gamed, I cannot expect the _club_, _or the waiters at the club_, to make _a subscription for me_! Two peers and a baronet applied to Charon, to ferry them over to Munster-house: but Mercury again interfered, telling Lord C----d that although he had been thought in the world not to have been _sans quelque goût_ in the _belle maniere_, and had been an encourager of the _Belles Lettres_, yet as Minos only permitted them to come back to the world (in the present case) to do honor to superlative feminine merit, none but such who had paid a proper respect to the sex in their life-time could be indulged in that pleasure. But if he would burn his book (wherein he depreciates women, and considers them only as the toys of dalliance) in _the fiery billows of Phlegethon_, he would intercede for him with Minos. This the peer rejecting, his brother the baronet intreated to be permitted to go in his stead; but Mercury reminded him, he had pulled down a house built by Inigo Jones, and therefore could have no pretensions to taste! Lord L----n was ferried over by himself; and after paying his compliments to Lady Darnley, returned; when the following dialogue took place in Elysium between his lordship, and the other peer above mentioned.
