Beneath the design is etched: 'Ye slaves of passion, and ye dupes of chance, Wake all your powers from this destructive trance! Shake off the shackles of this tyrant vice : Hear other calls than those of card and dice Be learn'd in nobler arts than arts of Play, And other debts than those of Honor Pay.
