_Melancholy mark'd him for her own, whose ambitious heart overrates the happiness he cannot enjoy_. MARLOW.
[Footnote: The first of these lines is taken from the Epitaph in Gray's _Elegy_, in the notes to which it is not shewn as an "Imitation." The ascription of the whole passage to Marlow (_sic_) is probably, therefore, one of Beyle's fantasies.--C. K. S. M.]
