She glares in Balls, front Boxes, and the Ring, A vain, unquiet, glitt'ring, wretched thing ! Pride, Pomp, and State but reach her outward part; She sighs, and is no Duchess at her heart.
Seite 22 - MODERN. Pooh, you will have enough to gild it; never fear your reputation while you are rich — for gold in this world covers as many sins as charity in the next. So that get a great deal, and give away a little, and you secure your happiness in both.
