condottieri have sometimes fought for and against the same person within the year . It is hub justice , however , to Don Felipe to admit , that he as regularly performs his contracts as though he were a Dutch merchant . He has considerable insight into the principles of commerce , though his political economy all centres in his own personal gains , like the Pacha of Egypt . He will probably retain his patriarchal authority till his death , as he never ill-uses the poor , or squeezes the rich , of his own domains , unless he catches them plotting ; and frequent mishaps have caused their spirit of enterprise to slacken : au reste . he is an undoubted brave man , and ' hail fellow

And if new laws should say us nay , Our starving children ' s cries , sir , Shall bid th « steel which bread might buy Assume another guise , sir .
