When were the dice with more profusion thrown?
The well-fill'd fob not emptied now alone,
But gamesters for whole patrimonies play;
The steward brings the deed which must convey
The lost estate: --what more than madness reigns,
When one short sitting many hundred drains! 
[signed] Dryden. . .  [followed by essay on gaming]
