so faithful as it was undeceive those that believe that Crimes are the only nourishment of love and who think a lawful passion can either be long strong or so agreeable tell 'em that Mausolus and I have given 'em an example which destroys all their reasonings and their experiences to the contrary since that our love had so much of Innocence and no less fervour and that it continued even unto death to be infinitly agreeable Speak then with Elogy of this sacred bond which forced two vertuous persons to love one another eternally But as much as is possible hasten to satisfie me and imploy even all your Eloquence to all those who work on this Tombe to use their utmost diligence to finish it as soon as they can for I find my work is almost consummated for the little Ashes of my dear Mausolus which remains will be quickly consumed and then I have no more to do in the world all that which is on the earth besides cannot touch my spirit I am insensible to every thing else except dolour and the only desire that I have in my Soul is to be rejoyned to my dear Mausolus and to know certainly that you take care of his glorie and that of yours ought to oblige you thereunto and also compassion ought to carry you to it And if it were permitted to propose other rewards to Philosophers than the only pleasure of well doing I might desire you to consider what charge I have been at in raising this magnificent Tombe and pray you to judge from thence that she who disposed of so much Treasure on mute Marble will not be ungrateful to you when you speak of the glory of her dear Mausolus but use what speed you can to put an end to your works for neither the Architects nor you can so soon end yours as I shall mine for if I am not much deceived I shall dye soon enough to permit you to illustrate the Panegyrick of Mausolus by the death of Artemesia The Effect of this Harangue THIS Vertuous Queen obtained her desire Isocrates and Theopompus spake so advantagiously of her Dear Mausolus that some have accused 'em as tho' they flattered for Silver As to her it was not without reason that shee pressed the Architects to hasten for their Work was not ended on this Superb Tombe when she must have had a place in 't Those which undertook this Miraculous Structure finisht it and it continued a long time one of the marvels of the World and the glory on 't had a more solid foundation than it for it continues yet in the memory of Men with that of Mausolus and of the Illustrious Artemesia FINIS A Catalogue of Books printed for Will.
