SCENE. III.
Bellmour, Louisa, 3 Children.Lou.
Courtney stays long!
*Bell.
Unhappy Boys! my Sons,
Be happier than your Father. O were I
Happy as you are, in not knowing Ill!
A Life of Ignorance is far the sweetest;
To know, is to know Pain: A thoughtless Life,
If it has less of Joy, has less of Grief.
—But I delay—'Tis the Physician's Part,
Not to abound in Words, but work the Cure.
