[Discussion about the evils of gaming]
  We never talk of this man's house or will,
  O whether +Lepos dances well or ill;
  But of those duties which ourselves we owe,
  And which 'tis quite a scandal not to know:
  At whether wealth or virtue can impart,
  The truest pleasure to the human heart:
. . . [4 lines of verse, 36 lines, with a footnote]
+Lepos was a dancer most celebrated at that time.
