so foolish that I lamented not for this, and I would not for twice
the Fortune have been called by so vulgar a Name. With such foolish
Trifles are young People delighted

And now having ordered all things the best that was possible in so
unhappy a Place and Circumstance, the Captain and Priest went to
the Ladies, whom they found much dejected, and out of Order. They
