ALEXANDER MARKHAM, Esq.

"DID'ST thou but know what damned injuries,
What foul, unknightly shame and obloquy,

His sire-whose name is wormwood to my mouth-
Did heap upon our house. Did'st thou but know-
No matter-life is revenge! revenge is life!

And though we never meet again, when thou

Shalt hear of the most fearful deed of daring,

Of the most horrible and bloody tale

That ever graced a beldame's midnight legend,
Or froze her gaping listeners, think of me

And my revenge!"
