A wanton Gentlewoman reproach’d her Brother with his strong Passion for Gaming, which was the ruin of him: _When will you leave off Gaming_? Says she to him: _when you’ll cease to Love_, answers the Brother. _Oh! Unhappy Man_, replied the Sister, _then you are like to game all your Life-time_. 79 Une demoiselle galante reprochoit à son Frere sa passion pour le jeu qui le ruinoit: _Quand cesserez vous de joüer_, lui dit elle: _Quand vous cesserez d’aimer_, repondit le _Frere_. _Ah! Malheureux_, repliqua la soeur, _Vous joüerez donc toute vôtre vie_. 80 A Man of Quality, travelling in _Spain_, went to see the _Escurial_, and as he view’d the Rich and Magnificent Convent of the Monks of the order of St. _Jerom_, call’d the Cloister of St. _Laurence_, the Superiour, who Conducted him, told him the Particulars of its foundation, and how King _Philip_ II. had caus’d it to be built to perform the Vow he made on that Day the Battle of St. _Quentin_ was fought, which was on St. _Laurence_’s Day, in case he should come off Victorious; whereupon the Traveller, admiring the Magnificence of that Building, said: _Father, that King must needs he be in great Fear, when he made so great a Vow_. 80 Un homme de Qualité, voyageant en _Espagne_, alla voir l’_Escurial_, & comme il visitoit ce riche & magnifique Convent de Religieux de l’ordre de S. _Jerome_, qu’on nomme le cloitre de S. _Laurent_, le Superieur qui le conduisoit lui raconta les particularitez de sa fondation; il lui dit comme le Roy _Philippe_ II. l’avoit fait batir pour satisfaire au voeu qu’il en fit le jour de la bataille de S. _Quentin_, qui fut donnée le jour de S. _Laurent_, en cas qu’il en sortit victorieux: là dessus le Voyageur lui dit en admirant la Magnificence de ce Batiment: _Mon Pere, il faloit que ce Roy eut grand peur, lors qu’il fit un si grand voeu_. 81 All the Teeth of a certain talkative Lady being loose, she ask’d a Physician the cause of it, who Answered, _It proceeded from the violent shakings she gave them, with her Tongue_. 81 Toutes les dents d’une Demoiselle, qui parloit beau coup, étant pretes à tomber, elle en demanda la cause à un Medecin, qui lui repondit, _que c’ètoit à cause des secousses, qu’elle leur donnoit avec sa langue_. 82 A bad Painter who could not put off his Pictures, went into another Country and turn’d Physician; one who went that way knew him again, and ask’d him for what reason he went in the habit of a Physician; _I have a mind_, said he, _to profess an art, wherein all mistakes are cover’d by the earth_. 82 Un méchant Peintre, qui ne pouvoit vendre ses ouvrages, s’en alla dans un autre païs & s’y fit Medecin; Quelqu’ un qui passoit par là le reconnut & lui demanda pour quelle raison il alloit vêtu en Medecin? Il répondit, _J’ai voulu professer un Art, où toutes les fautes que l’on y fait, sont couvertes par la Terre_. 83
