From the London Evening-Post.
DISSIPATION.
  Dulce est dissipere in loco.
Is there a word of magic found, 
Intitled to our admiration,
Which captivates as soon as found?
That dear, dear word is --dissipation.
. . . [108 lines]
Dancing and gambling, routs and drums,
Plays, masquerades, in quick rotation,
(Time lost more precious far than sums)
Form our outlines of--dissipation.
