Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Fourteenth Satire of Juvenal Imitated
In all her mother's myft'ries deeply read, Treats, affignations, {warming in her head. So Nature bids: when great examples move, Domel'tic vices too perfuafive prove Some few, illumin'd by a richer ray, Direct their courfe, as Reafon points the way; Moll in their parents' footfieps fondly run, Drawn to the very track, they ought to Ihun. Is it your wiih a faultlefs Ion to fee? Watch your own conduct from all {lain be free For youth too oft, whatever care is had, Perverfely docile imitates the bad N 0 place but fwarms with 's of the kind But where another savile {hall we find? With due referve before a child be feen Taint not his innocence with talk obfcene Far hence be midnight revels, midnight balls! And keep, O I keep him from thofe wanton walls, Where Love leads in his loofe - zon'd titt'ring crew, And amoret trips half-naked to the View.
