So, in a play, they act with mimick art, Father, or son, or griping miser's part: But when at last the comic scenes are o'er, They quit the visards they assum'd before.
Nor did I there very long complain, for fearing one Menelaus, an usherof a school, might, among other misfortunes, find me alone in the inn, I made up my wallet, and, very pensive, took me a lodging in a privateplace near the sea: there, after I had been mewd up for three days, reflecting afresh on my despis'd and abject conditi...on, I beat mybreast, as sick as it was; and, when my deep sighs would suffer me, often cry'd out; "Why has not the earth burst open, and swallow'd me?Why has not the sea o'erwhelm'd me that respects not even the innocentthemselves? Have I been a murderer? when I had violated Lycas's wife, have I fled justice? have I escap'd even when I was condemn'd to dye, to live in a strange place, to have my name recorded only amongbeggars and vagabonds? and who condemn'd me to this solitude?--A boy!One who is a prostitute to all manner of lust; and by his ownconfession deserves to dye; whom vice has enobl'd from a slave; whowas publickly contracted with as a girl, by one that knew he was ofthe other sex: and what a wretch is that other, ye gods!
