' [H-3] Of this picture, which was the one painted for Beauclerk (ante, p. 180), it is stated in Johnson's Work, ed. 1787, xi. 204, that 'there is in it that appearance of a labouring working mind, of an indolent reposing body, which he had to a very great degree.'

on Fortunes wheele that ride, Or in ought under heaven repose assurance, Be it riches, beautie, or honours pride, 500 Be sure that they shall have no long endurance,

Yet in so deep, so wild a groan, A sharper anguish seems to live Than life's expiring pang can give: He dies deserted, and alone If pity can allay thy woes Sad spirit they shall find repose Thy friend, thy long-lov'd friend is near!

It was one of those warm, still, almost tropical nights, so rarely seen on northern waters, when a profound calm reigns in the moonless heavens, and the hush of absolute repose rests upon the tired, storm-vexed sea.

Here and there were little reposing places.
