text_original: On December 12th Bolingbroke passed away. He had settled himself quietly down in his old home at Bat  tersea, and there he died. He had outlived his closest friends and his keenest enemies. The wife — the second wife — to whom, with all his faults, he had been much de  voted — was long dead. Pope and Gay, and Arbuthnot, and " Matt " Prior and Swift were dead. Walpole, his great opponent, was dead. All chance of a return to public life had faded years before.
