The consequence might have been fatal, had not the ambition of the marquis subdued the sudden irritation of his inferior passions, and induced him to soften the severity of his accusations, by subsequent concessions.

What dismal sighs from Moses who, like the Marchioness, cooled his eye at the keyhole!
