Which wantons wear, to make a sinful show?
Hast thou in view these idle volumes placed
To be the pander of a vicious taste?
What’s here? a book of dances! - you advance
In goodly knowledge - John, wilt learn to dance?
How! ‘Go,’ it says, and ‘to the devil go!
And shake thyself!’ I tremble - but ’tis so;
Wretch as thou art, what answer canst thou make?
Oh! without question, thou wilt go and shake.
What’s here? ‘The School for Scandal’ - pretty schools!
