A VOYAGE TO LISBON having employed their time well than ashamed ofhaving lived so long ; the only reason which I couldever assign why some fine ladies, and fine gentlementoo, should desire to be thought younger than theyreally are by the contemporaries of their grandchil-dren. Some, indeed, who too hastily credit appear-ances, might doubt whether they had made so gooda use of their time as I would insinuate, since therewas no appearance of anything but poverty, want,and wretchedness, about their house ; nor could theyproduce anything to a customer in exchange for hismoney but a few bottles of mind, and spirituousliquors, and some very bad ale, to drink ; with rustybacon and worse cheese to eat.
