SCENE II.
At Mr. Drave's.
Enter Mr. DRAVE and PHILIP BROOK.
Mr. D. Indeed, Brook, I must confess your inactivity vexes me.
Philip. You mistake for inactivity, a mere external forbearance.
Mr. D. It is easier to complain of mankind, than to act for their welfare. The first is the part of a gloomy, discontented mind; the latter, the virtue of a good citizen, and should be yours.
