Love's Last Shift

By H. C. DE ST. CROIX.

In the first edition of Peignot's *Manuel du Biblioplide*, published in 1800, the title of Congreve's "Mourning Bride" is rendered "L'Epouse du Matin." Can any of your readers inform me whether it is in the same work that the title of "Love's Last Shift" is translated by "Le dernier Chemise de l'Amour?" if not, in what other book is it?
