John Dryden, TMR's Bard
The Men's Retreat is of course a cross between self-satire and farce (satire when the drinks are being mixed, farce after they have been consumed. . .), so John Dryden's verse seems appropriate for an inscription:
Satire is always shown among the rest,
And is the boldest way, if not the best,
To tell men freely of their foulest faults,
To laugh at their vain deeds and vainer thoughts.
Satire is always shown among the rest,
And is the boldest way, if not the best,
To tell men freely of their foulest faults,
To laugh at their vain deeds and vainer thoughts.
