LVII.

He had many friends who had many wives, and was

Well looked upon by both, to that extent

Of friendship which you may accept or pass,

It does nor good nor harm; being merely meant

To keep the wheels going of the higher class,

And draw them nightly when a ticket's sent;

And what with masquerades, and fêtes, and balls,

For the first season such a life scarce palls.
