SCENE X.

alone.
Jove, what a life! what manners! what distraction!
A Bride just coming home without a portion;
A Musick-Girl already there in keeping;
A house of waste; the youth, a libertine;
Th'old man, a dotard!—'Tis not in the pow'r
Of Providence herself, howe'er desirous,
To save from ruin such a family.
