But how? ay, there's the rub! pausing I've got my cue:

The world's a masquerade! the masquers, you, you, you.

To Boxes, Bit, and Gallery.

Lud! what a group the motley scene discloses!

False wits, false wives, false virgins, and false spouses!

Statesmen with bridles on; and, close beside 'em,

Patriots in party-colour'd suits that ride 'em:

There Hebes, turn'd of fifty, try once more

To raise a flame in Cupids of threescore;

These in their turn, with appetites as keen,
