SQUIRE PEDANT 29 contrection of him, with the salvo of the taction of the cleg. Free from titubation, vessigons, and other defectuosities, his deliverness and pernicity on the cespitous plain, are without equipollency or parity. Desiderating pererrations, and connusant that equitation is salutiferous, I bestrided him to estivate in the ponent friths.

My colluctations were inenarrable. The nemorous regions were almost impertransible; no wents, no cabarets, I had to submit to humicubations in abatures during my pernoctations, and permit my equinal servitor to dander on the verdant gerse, for pabulation.

These humicubations, the nocturnal irrorations, and the dankishness of the atmosphere, generated by a want of apricity, were extremely febrifacient. Infrigidation, formication, odontalgy, cardialgy, wample, asphyxy, succeeded by calenture, found introgression into my corporeal organization. I was medicamentally adjuvated by a rurigenous medicaster. Not scient in posology, in the impartation of eccoprotics, ecphractics, and epithems, he minorated my eupepsy; and hence I spent insomnious nights. In my brief swevens, I endured the circumvolation of pigwidgeons and odible simulachres in my harns. Upon these supervened cacochymy, partial hemiplegy, hemoptysis, leucophlegmacy, turgent muns, icteritious and impetiginous macules, and ultimately prurigo or psora! O what a cruciation to be so lazarly! But eulogium to the supermundane Powers for the revivification of my invalescence, and for an analepsis by means of pepastics, antalgics and anticausotics!

Yours, in an aureate ligature,

LORENZO ALTISONANT.
