A love for pleasure - a contempt of rest;
“She whom she pleased would visit, would receive
Those who pleased her, nor deign to ask for leave.”
“One way there is,” said he; “I might contrive
Into a trap this foolish thing to drive:
Who pleased her, said she? - I’ll be certain who.”
“Take heed,” said Conscience “what thou mean’st to do;
Ensnare thy wife?” - “Why, yes,” he must confess,
“It might be wrong, but there was no redress;
Beside to think,” said he, “is not to sin.”
