" He entreated her, not by seclusion and fruitless sorrow, to lose the bene- fits of exertion ; " thy mournings cannot avail me : I am but dust. Remember your poor child for his father's sake, who chose you and loved you in his happiest time. " Such are, in part, the exhortations w...ith which Ralegh sought to strengthen the resolution, and to sustain the spirits of one whom he thought soon to consign to the neglect and indif- ference of the world.
