Fortune!—It makes me Weep to think what you have brought yourself, and me to! How well might you have liv'd, Sir, had you been a Sober Man—Let me see! I ha' been in your Service just ten years—In the first you Married,and grew weary of your Wife; in the Second you Whor'd, Drank, Gam'd, run in Debt, Mortgaged your Estate, and was forct to leave the Kingdom; in the 3d, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th, you made the Tour of Europe, with the State and Equipage of a French Court Favourite, while your poor Wife at Home broke her heart for the loss of you. In the 8th and 9th you grew poor, and little the wiser, and now in the 10th you are resolv'd I shall starve with you.
