Lucan died reciting some verses of his own IMiar- •alii. Alfieri. the day before he died, was persuaded to see a priest; when lie t amc, he said to him with gre taif>bdity, *• have the goodness to look in in-n»"rrow— 1 trust death will wait fourand twen ty hours.

It ycherly, when dying, had his wife brought to the bedside, and having taken her hand in a very solemn manner, said he had on« request to make of h»’r, and that was. that *»ie would never marry an old man aga n.
