Upon a Rope we'll hang all our care.  Beg. Opera.
  There are strange reverses, Mr. Woodfall, in human
affairs.  We are to day on the highest spoke of fortune's
wheel; to-morrow involved in a misery;  this moment swimming
on an ocean of joy and satisfaction; the next over shadowed
with a cloud of sorrow.  Not virtue, not even patriotism,
can always justify dancing and festivity; nor can the Lord
Mayor's repeated feasts expel those cares that hover round
the high vaulted palaces of the sons of Freedom. . .
