And of fine Men of Business get the Name.
You who have left caballing here of late,
Imploy’d in matters of a mightier weight;

Of drinking deep, then settling the Nation,
To countenance us, whom Commonwealths of old
Did the most politick Diversion hold.
Plays were so useful thought to Government,
That Laws were made for their Establishment;
