He commands his t^me, he
is Rafter of the mint and fin

a minister of state. He makes
more beds than the French
king, and has in them more
painted ladies. He makes rak

diversion, as many other gen r
tiemen do ; but makes it an
advantage to his health and
fortune, which few others do.
His wife has enough of lad's
tae and heart's eaje, and she
never wishes for weeds. Dis
tempers fatal to others never
hurt him; he walks the bet

most in a consumption. His
createft pride, and the world's
grtateft envy, is, that he can
have frw when he plcafes.

The emperor Clodias Albinui,

he fell down dead. His death
was so welcome to his fubjeds,
that they celebrated the day with

the reign of the Danes in En°

His breeches he caflea fyieli

His fho.es he called by ^e

were made of the leather of
