XXVI.

Also there bin[662] another pious reason

For making squares and streets anonymous;

Which is, that there is scarce a single season

Which doth not shake some very splendid house

With some slight heart-quake of domestic treason—

A topic Scandal doth delight to rouse:

Such I might stumble over unawares,

Unless I knew the very chastest squares.
