The best specific for superfluous youth:

And to say truth, good Mari, the very day

Of my arrival hither, I despatch’d

A letter to my elder brother’s son,

Who still maintains our dwindled patrimony

Up in the mountains, which I would reclaim,

Or keep it rather in its lawful line,

By an alliance with a child of mine,

All falls out luckily. Eugenia

Wedded to him shall make herself secure,
