    An inner Room receives the numerous Shoals* Of fuch as pay to be reputed Fools. Globes Hand by Globes, Volumns on Volumns lie. And Planetary Schemes amufe the Eye. The Sage, in Velvet Chair, here lolls at Eafe, To promife future Health for prefent Fees. Then, as from Tripod, folemn Shams reveals, And what the Stars know nothing of, foretels. One asks, how foon Panthea may be won, And longs to feel the Marriage Fetters on. Others, convinc’d by melancholy Proof* Enquire when courteous Fates will ftrike ’em ofh Some,by what means they may redrefs the Wrong, When Fathers the Poflellion keep too long.
