Did as the Rest The moral tale of ruin by conformity
A didactic narrative portrays a young man lured by vicious companions into theatre gambling and dissipation. He wastes time wealth and credit, sinks into poverty, and dies untimely. A wealthy father and a devoted mother observe how imitation and leniency breed vice in children and in daughters trained to arts and social display. The piece condemns following others and urges repentance before death.
