A foolish head and a perfidious heart (Sir R. Walpole said of the Duke of Newcastle), his name is Perfidy.-W. After the death of his brother, the Duke of Newcastle went to Court; at the foot of the stairs he cried, and sunk down; the yeomen of the guards dragged him up in their arms; when the closet-door opened, he flung himself at his length at the King's feet, sobbed, and cried, "God bless your Majesty! God preserve your Majesty!" and lay there howling and embracing the King's knees.-W. Old Lovat's Tragedy is over; it was succeeded by a little Farce, containing the humours of the Duke of Newcastle and his man Stone; the first event was a squabble between his Grace and the Sheriff, about holding up the head on the scaffold, a custom that has been disused, and the Sheriff would not comply with the Duke, who is as much frightened in doing right as in doing wrong, and was three days before he got courage enough to order the burying in the Tower.-W. The Duchess of Nivernois is the Duke of Newcastle, properly placed, chattering incessantly out of devotion, and making interest against the devil, that she may dispose of Bishoprics in the next world. But it is too ridiculous to see goody Newcastle exulting like old Marius in a seventh consulship.-W. |
