When an old Bachelor takes a young Wife鈥攚hat is He to expect鈥�'Tis now six months since Lady Teazle made me the happiest of men鈥攁nd I have been the most miserable Dog ever since that ever committed wedlock. We tift a little going to church鈥攁nd came to a Quarrel before the Bells had done ringing鈥擨 was more than once nearly chok'd with gall during the Honeymoon鈥攁nd had lost all comfort in Life before my Friends had done wishing me Joy鈥攜et I chose with caution鈥攁 girl bred wholly in the country鈥攚ho never knew luxury beyond one silk gown鈥攏or dissipation above the annual Gala of a Race-Ball鈥擸et she now plays her Part in all the extravagant Fopperies of the Fashion and the Town, with as ready a Grace as if she had never seen a Bush nor a grass Plot out of Grosvenor-Square! I am sneered at by my old acquaintance鈥攑aragraphed鈥攊n the news Papers鈥擲he dissipates my Fortune, and contradicts all my Humours鈥攜et the worst of it is I doubt I love her or I should never bear all this. However I'll never be weak enough to own it.
