And pledge your neighbour in a flowing bumper.

This sums my doctrine whole: cocker your genius—

Feast it with high delights, and mark it be not

Too sad—I know no pleasure but the belly;

'Tis kin, 'tis genealogy to me:

I own no other sire nor lady-mother.

For virtue—'tis a cheat: your embassies—

Mere toys: office and army sway—boy's rattles.

They are a sound—a dream—an empty bubble;

Our fated day is fix'd, and who may cheat it?
