A family reclaims, a wife deplores;
The head, and rule of peace are out of doors!
See, education's venerable chair
Is empty; see extinct the parents care:
See servants, now degraded, now become
Masters, and more than masters of the dome:
Because the masters are abroad, all glee,
Thy votaries, conviviality!
