XXXIII.

Master-robber of all that haunt the bath-rooms,

Old Vibennius, and his heir the wanton;

(His the dirtier hands, the greedy father,

Yours the filthier heart, his heir as hungry;)

Pains and privacy? since by this the father's

Thefts are palpable, and a rusty favour,

Son, picks never a penny from the people.
