_Raby._ I have undone you all--the crime is mine!
O thou poor injur'd saint, forgive thy father,
He kneels to his wrong'd child.
_Elw._ Now you are cruel.
Come near, my father, nearer--I would see you,
But mists and darkness cloud my failing sight.
O Death! suspend thy rights for one short moment,
Till I have ta'en a father's last embrace--
A father's blessing.--Once--and now 'tis over.
Receive me to thy mercy, gracious Heaven! [_she dies._
_Raby._ She's gone! for ever gone! cold, dead and cold.
Am I a father? Fathers love their children----
I murder mine! With impious pride I snatch'd
The bolt of vengeance from the hand of Heaven.
My punishment is great--but oh! 'tis just.
My soul submissive bows. A righteous God
Has made my crime become my chastisement. [_exeunt._
THE END.

"A book of this description, calculated to give young people an
insight into the Science of Punctuation, has long been wanted;
and we are glad to see the defect remedied by a gentleman so well
qualified for the task as Mr. Hartley. The examples appended to
the text, in the form of notes, are various and well chosen; and
the work is such as we can safely recommend to those who wish to
make themselves acquainted with this essential, but too commonly
neglected, branch of Science."--_New Monthly Mag._
