LETTER LIX.
HARRINGTON to WORTHY.
You are egregiously mistaken,
argue as you will.—My perceptions are
as clear as any one's—The burden that
is at first heavy and inconvenient, galls us
as we proceed—it soon becomes intolerable,
we sink under its weight, and lie gasping in
the publick way long before night.
AS to the world—who strives to please it,
will be deservedly rewarded—he will reap
his labour for his pains—Let it judge of my
conduct. I despise its opinion—
Independency
of spirit is my motto—I think for myself.
