But Lord! To See The Absurd Nature

Before I Went To Bed, I Sat Up Till 2 A-clock In My Chamber, Reading Of Mr. Hooke's Microscopical Observations, The Most Ingenious Book That I Ever Read In My Life.

To Church In The Morning, And There Saw A Wedding In The Church, Which I Have Not Seen Many A Day; And The Young People So Merry One With Another, And Strange To See What Delight We Married People Have To See These Poor Fools Decoyed Into Our Condition, Every Man And Woman Gazing And Smiling At Them.

As Happy A Man As Any In The World, For The Whole World Seems To Smile Upon Me!

I Do Still See That My Nature Is Not To Be Quite Conquered, But Will Esteem Pleasure Above All Things, Though Yet In The Middle Of It, It Has Reluctances After My Business, Which Is Neglected By My Following My Pleasure. However Musique And Women I Cannot But Give Way To, Whatever My Business Is.

But It Is Pretty To See What Money Will Do.
