No matter how or why or whose the fault,

I save your life—save it, nor less nor more!

You blindly were resolved to welcome death

In that black boor-and-bumpkin-haunted hole

Of his, the prig with all the preachments! You

Installed as nurse and matron to the crones

And wenches, while there lay a world outside

Like Paris (which again I recommend),

In company and guidance of—first, this,

Then—all in good time—some new friend as fit—
