My business in this State

Made me a LOOKER-ON here in Vienna;
Where I have feen Corruption boil and bubble,
Till it o'er-run the ftew: laws for all faults;
But faults fo countenanc'd, that the strong ftatutes
Stand like the forfeits in a barber's shop,

As much in mock as mark.

My business in this State

Made me a LOOKER-ON here in Vienna;

Till it o'er-run the ftew: laws for all faults;
But faults fo countenanc'd, that the strong statutes
Stand like the forfeits in a barber's shop,

As much in mock as mark.
