While we study with Attention the Vanity of human Life, and turn all our Thoughts on the empty and transitory Nature of Riches and Honours, we are, perhaps, all the while flattering our natural Indolence, which, hating the Bustle of the World, and Drudgery of Business, seeks a Pretext of Reason, to give itself a full and uncontroul'd Indulgence.
