Dead March
in Saul

Handel's once celebrated march, the dead march as it is called in
the Oratorio of Saul would suit admirably with a procession of this
sort kind. Its simple and melancholy majesty would
be more in unison with better adapted to the feelings of the common
people at large than the more refined compositions
of modern artists.

Poetry

The punishment for parricides for example
being furnished matter for the pen of Juvenal.
Cujus supplicio non debuit una parari
Simia, non serpens unus, non culeus unus.
This was exemplary enough, but without being at
all characteristic.

So the punishment for adultery

Attracis pedibus, patente portâ
Percurrunt raphani, mugilesque
And again
Quoidem moechos & mugilis intrat
The antients seem to have been no happier in the
choice of their punishments than we. I can see nothing
of design in either of these punishments; no th
more than that of boiling to death for poisoning, which
was once in force or the burning of women for coining
which is still in force in England. Caprice seems
to have all these punishments: caprice in
consultation with indecency the second.
In none of these cases can
I find any natural connection
between the punishment &
the offence
