At length the master of the glass-house, an ancient grave gentleman, took the liberty to reprove him, which at first made him swear the worse ; after awhile, the gentleman was a little calmer, but still he swore very much, though not so bad as at first. After some time, the master of the glass-house turned from him,— >Bcally sir, says the Digitized by Google 8WEARIKG DEBOGATOBT TO A GEinXEMAN. 815 good old gentleman, you swear so, and take God*9 name in Tain so, that I cannot bear to stay with ...you ; I would rather you would let my goods alone, and go somewhere else ; I hope you won't take it ill, but I don't desire to deal with any body that does so ; I am afraid my glass-house should ML on your head while you stay in it.
The gentleman grew good-humoured at the reproof, and said, Well, come, don't go away, I won't swear any more, says he, if I can help it ; for I own, says he, I should not do it.
With that the old gentleman looked up at him, and, return- ing, Really sir, says he, 'tis a pity you, that seem to be a fine gentleman, well-bred, and good-humoured^ should accustom yourself to such ahateM practice ; why, 'tis not like a gentle- man to swear, 'tis enough for my black wretches that work there at the furnace, or for these ragged, naked, blackguard boys, pointing at me, and some others of the dirty crew, that lay in the ashes ; 'tis bad enough for them, says he, and they ought to be corrected for it too ; but for a man of breeding, sir, says he, a gentleman, it ought to be looked upon as below them ; gentlemen know better, and are taught better, and it is plain you know better ; I beseech you, ot, when you are tempted to swear, always ask yourself, Is this like a gentle- man ?
