4.3.2 Floating Texts

<p>Galecia one Evening setting alone in her Chamber by a clear Fire,
   and a clean Hearth [...] reflected on the Providence of our
   All-wise and Gracious Creator [...] </p>
<p>She was thus ruminating, when a Gentleman enter'd the Room, the
   Door being a jar [...] calling for a Candle, she beg'd a thousand
   Pardons, engaged him to sit down, and let her know, what had so long
   conceal'd him from her Correspondence.

  <p>Dear Galecia, said he, though you partly know the loose, or rather
       lewd Life that I led in my Youth; yet I can't forbear relating part of
       it to you by way of Abhorrence...
   
<!-- Captain Manly's story here -->

4.3.2 Floating Texts

<p>The Gentleman having finish'd his Story, Galecia waited on him to
   the Stairs-head; and at her return, casting her Eyes on the Table, she
   saw lying there an old dirty rumpled Book, and found in it the
   following story: </p>
<floatingText>
 <body>
  <p> IN the time of the Holy War when
       Christians from all parts went into the Holy Land to oppose the Turks;
       Amongst these there was a certain English Knight...</p>
<!-- rest of story here -->
  <p>The King graciously pardoned the Knight; Richard was kindly receiv'd
       into his Convent, and all things went on in good order: But from hence
       came the Proverb, We must not strike <hi>Robert</hi> for
   <hi>Richard.</hi></p>
 </body>
</floatingText>
<pb n="43"/>
<p>By this time Galecia's Maid brought up her Supper; after which she
   cast her Eyes again on the foresaid little Book, where she found the
   following Story, which she read through before she went to bed.

<floatingText>
 <body>
  <head>The Cause of the Moors Overrunning
   <hi>Spain</hi></head>
  <p>King ———— of Spain at his Death, committed the Government of his
       Kingdom to his Brother Don ——— till his little Son should come of
       Age ...</p>
  <p>Thus the little Story ended, without telling what Misery
       befel the King and Kingdom, by the Moors, who over ran the Country for
       many Years after. To which, we may well apply the Proverb,
   <quote>
    <l>Who drives the Devil's Stages,</l>
    <l>Deserves the Devil's Wages</l>
   </quote></p>

</floatingText>
<p>The reading this Trifle of a Story detained Galecia from her Rest
   beyond her usual Hour; for she slept so sound the next Morning, that
   she did not rise, till a Lady's Footman came to tell her, that his
   Lady and another or two were coming to breakfast with her...
