Two Brothers coming to be executed once for ſome enormous Crime; the Eldeft was firſt turn’d off, without ſaying one Word: The other mounting the Ladder, began to harangue the Crowd, whoſe Ears were attentively open to hear him, expecting ſome Confeſſion from him, “Good People,” ſays he, “my Brother hangs before my Face, and you ſee what a lamentable SPECTACLE he makes; in a few Moments I ſhall be turned off too, and then you’ll ſee a Pair of SPECTACLES.”
