The Infant Moralist
HEARTLESS FOLLY

Lady Helen

Pray, Richard, do you think it right

To act as you did Tuesday Night

And make of Age a Mock?

The Admiral, whose Legs you tied

Whilst he was sitting by my side,

Is indisposed from Shock.

As he fell prone upon the Floor

I saw you spying through the Door

With pert and shameless Smile;

His Daughters kind, who tend his Couch,

With one accord do freely vouch

They marked your Purpose vile.

E'en barbarous Turk or Cariboo,

Or poor idolatrous Hindoo

Before such Act would pause;

What should you feel if Admiral Bligh

Were taken from us to the Sky

And you should be the Cause?

Oh! wretched Boy, Elisha's Bears

May even now be on the Stairs

Your Punishment to give:

For those the Aged who offend

Are like to come to fearful End,

Or else in Chains to live.
