to give.” This watch is still preserved in the Worsley family; it is of “silver, large and clumsy in its form; neatly ornamented in the case with filagree work; but the movements are of very ordinary workmanship, and are wound up with cat-gut.” On his arrival within its walls, the “solitude and dreariness of the castle struck like a death-damp to the heart of Charles!” Never till this moment had he thought himself in danger: but now suspicions of secret assassination haunted his mind; and as he looked around him, and compared Hurst Castle with that which he had left--“Here,” said he to himself, “were the place for such a deed!”--But the events which followed the king’s departure from the Isle of Wight require no further notice in this place.

[Illustration: NETLEY ABBEY.] [Illustration: NETLEY ABBEY.] “Now sunk, deserted, and with weeds o’ergrown, Yon prostrate walls their harder fate bewail; Low on the ground their topmost spires are thrown, Once friendly marks to guide the wandering sail. The ivy now with rude luxuriance bends Its tangled foliage through the cloister’d space, O’er the green windows’ mould’ring height ascends, And fondly clasps it with a last embrace.”--KEATE.
