There is a tide in the affairs of men, / Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; / Omitted, all the voyage of their life / Is bound in shallows and in miseries. / On such a full sea are we now afloat; / And we must take the current when it serves, / Or lose our ventures. / SHAKSPEARE.
It is not necessary to describe with much detail the effect produced by / this letter, on the mind of Eustace Trevor, or the mode of conduct he / pursued in the emergency.
