The drunkard's legacy in four parts. First - Of a gentleman's having a wild son, and sore-seeing he would come to Poverty, had a Cottage built with one Door to it, always kept fast. His Father on his Dying-Bed, charged him not to open it 'till he was poor and slighted, which the Young Man promised he would perform. Secondly - Of the Young Man's pawning his Estate to a Vintner, who when poor, kicked him out of Doors. Thinking it Time to see his Legacy, he broke open the Door, where instead of Money, found a Gibbet and a Halter, which he put round his Neck, and jumping off the Stool, the Gibbet broke, and a Thousand Pounds came down upon his Head, which lay hid in the Ceiling. Thirdly-Of his redeeming the Estate; and fooling the Vintner out of Two Hundred Pounds, who for fear of being jeered by his Neighbours, cut his own Throat. And lastly, - Of the young man's reformation. Very proper to be read by all who are given to drunkenness.
