Plutus

No, give me neither these nor the off-hand gentry; my beau ideal is the man who steers a middle course, as far from complete abstention as from utter profusion. Consider, Zeus, by your own great name; suppose a man were to take a fair young wife, and then absolutely decline all jealous precautions, to the point of letting her wander where she would by day or night, keeping company with any one who had a mind to heror put it a little stronger, and let him be procurer, janitor, pander, and advertiser of her charms in his own personwell, what sort of love is his? come, Zeus, you have a good deal of experience, you know what love is.
