A Humorous Last Will. History give several relations of men
who preserved their calmness and temper to the last moment
of their lives. . . [20 lines, various wills] But we meet
no where with a pleasanter instance of drollery in such
cases than in the following will of H--y D--f, Esq; of
Lancashire, who died last February. . . [1 column of items.]
Item. To C--y C---r, Esq; I leave a pastoral farce,
called Love in a Riddle, as likewise all his New-Year and
Birth-day Odes, and seriously intreat him to preserve them
with a religious care, for if he does not, I believe verily
no body else will. . .
