To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She knows this must be my portion if he leaves me utterly, therefore she does not urge it. I love Saville for his virtues ... He cannot be my husband, but no law of earth or heaven forbids that he should be my friend, and debars us from the liberty of conversing together while that con- versation is innocent. The world has no right THE SWAN OF LICHFIELD 127 to suppose it otherwise ; if it will be so unjust we cannot help it. Its severest censure we should both look upon as a less misfortune tha...n that of seeing each other no more. Thank you for endeavouring to guard my dear Mrs. Colt- man's mind from receiving ill impressions of me, but I am afraid your kind care has been in vain.
" Adieu, my dear Mrs. Sykes, adieu ! " One very melancholy page, undated, unsigned, gives us a further insight into the troubles of the poor Muse's life at that time, and of the price she at any rate had to pay for emulating Petrarch, who does not seem to have suftered in the same way.
" I know there are a set of people in Lichfield (she says) who endeavour to injure me by every means in their power ; the natural malignity of mankind furnishes them with ample means of doing so ; my father's conduct in caressing these people aids their mischief, and stamps some colour of credit upon their thousand falsehoods, I am not angry at the credulity of the indiffer- ent, but in those who have professed themselves my friends, and who have every reason to believe 128 FROM THE POFtCH me incapable of vileness, with whatever indis- creet fervour I may attach myself, such credulity is injurious and highly unjust.
