 46 THE DEATH OF ROBERT, KING OF NAPLES, SUR- 
 
 NAMED THE GOOD AND THE WISE 
 
 “ Perceiving that he drew near his end, he assembled his nobles, and 
 dictated his will in their presence. By this will, he made Joan, his 
 granddaughter, his heir; and her sister Mary was to succeed her. 
 
 “ After this, Robert desired they would bring to him the two young 
 persons he had named for his successors. He addressed himself to them 
 With the greatest dignity and tenderness, discovered to them the dangers 
 which threatened them, and informed them in what manner they ought 
 to conduct themselves towards their enemies, their friends, and their 
 subjects. 
 
 “ ‘ He died/ says Petrarch, as he lived, acting and speaking like 
 himself.’ He chose to die in the habit of the third Order of St. Francis, 
 an act of zeal at that time in fashion.”— Mbs. Dobson’s Life of 
 Petrarch.

 I’ll not be myself at all, Molly dear, Molly dear, 
 
 Till you my own I call. 
 
 Since a change o’er me there came, 
 
 Sure you might change your name, 
 
 And ’twould just come to the same, Molly dear, Molly dear. 
 Oh ! ’twould just come to the same. 
 
 For if you and I were one 
 All confusion would be gone, 
 
 And ’twould simplify the matter entirely, 
 
 And ’twould save us so much bother 
 When we’d be one another, 
 
 So listen now to rayson, Molly Brierly.
