As People marry now, and settle;
Fierce Love abates his usual Mettle:
Worldly Desires, and Household Cares
Disturb the Godhead's soft Affairs:
So now, as Health or Temper changes,
In larger Compass  ranges,
This Day below, the next above;
As light, or solid Whimsies move.
So Merchant has his House in Town,
And Country-Seat near  Down:
From One he dates his Foreign Letters,
Sends out his Goods, and duns his Debtors:
In t'other, at his Hours of Leisure,
He smokes his Pipe, and takes his Pleasure.
