raculously revealed to the kings of England, his youthful corpse was taken out of the cave. and. by a great multitude of clergy and nobles, conveyed to Winchelcombe. The parricidal, or rather fratricidal, woman, excited by the song of the clergy and laymen, and their eager applause at the discovery of this holy martyr, put her head out of the window of the chamber in which she was standing, and sang the psalm, " Lord, do not thou be silent about my glory ;" and then, designing I know not what sorcery, repeating it backwards, she endeavoured to check the joy of the singers ; and when she had got back from the end to this verse, " This would be their work, who speak ill of me before the Lord," both her eyes burst at once from their*eockets, and fell down upon the page which she was reading.
