Thofe that are idle have no need of them, and yet they, above all others, give themfelves up to them. To unbend our •thoughts, when they are too much flr^tch- ed by our cares, is not more natural than it is necelFary; but to turn our whole hfe into a holy-day, is not only ridiculous, but de- flroyeth pleafure inftead of promoting it. The mind, like the body, is tired by being always in one poflure; too ferious breaketh, and too diverting- loofeneth it: it is variety that giveth the relifli; fo ...that diverfions too frequently repeated, grow firft to be indif- ferent, and at lad tedious. Whilil they are well chofen, and well timed, they ure nc« ver to be blamed; but when they are ufed to an excefs, though very innocent- at firH-, they often grow to be criminal, and never fail to be impertinent.
Some ladies are befpoken for merry meet' ings, as BefTus w^as for duels. They are engaged in a circle of idlenefs, where they turn round for the whole year, without the interruption of a ferious hour : they know ■all the players names, and are intimately acquainted with all the booths in Bartholo- mew-fair.
