The life and letters of Edward Young . nspired its lines, but to the fourthpoem the author contributed a preface in which he assuredhis readers that the occasion of his work was real, notfictitious. The poem was begun, he added, purely as arefuge under uneasiness, when more proper studies wantedsufficient relish to detain the writers attention to them.The three deaths mentioned in the first instalment had sooverwhelmed him with grief that he did actually seek surceasefrom sorrow in the manner described in his lines. Those three deaths are the most puzzling problem of Youngsbiography, owing to the fact that in his poem he locates themso near to each other. A#ter asking Death why he shouldexhaust his partial quiver on a target so mean as himself, he continued— Insatiate archer ! could not one suffice ?Thy shaft flew thrice; and thrice my peace was slain ;And thrice, ere thrice yon moon had filld her horn. Now, if those lines are to be interpreted literally, there is noescaping the conclusion that the poet had suffered three. THE NIGHT THOUGHTS 147 bereavements within three months. But unfortunately noknown facts of his biography correspond with such adeduction. It is usually supposed that the three deaths Young hadin his mind were those of his stepdaughter Elizabeth, herhusband, and his own wife; but the first of these occurredin the October of 1736, the second in the August of 1740, andthe third in the January of 1741. Thus the two bereavementswhich were nearest in point of time were separated by fivemonths, while the third took place more than four years earlier.Of all these losses the one which affected him most deeplywas that of his wife ; that was the culminating burden of hissorrows, having issue in sleepless nights and melancholy days ;and it is highly probable that it was the poignancy of thatbereavement which so intensified his sense of sorrow as toprompt him to the poetic licence of his perplexing lines. Thatthe thrice ere thrice yon moon had filld her horn
