Don't imagine, my dear, that, by what I'm going to say, I mean to
exercise the authority of a mother, always ready as you know I am,
to listen in my turn to your reasons when I think them good; my
intention is not to lay my commands on you, but to give you my
advice; it is my heart which speaks to you, and that experience I
have had in the world makes me foresee evils which I would endeavor
to prevent: you have been at court, I think, not above two months;
believe me, 'tis a dangerous situation: the perfidious group of
courtiers always look on a new-comer with an eye of malevolence,
and soon find out all his imperfections: from the first moment,
they condemn him, without pity or remorse; and, which is still
worse, their judgment is irrevocable: be guarded against their
malice: on the first step we take in life, the rest of it must in a
great measure depend: if you once make yourself ridiculous, the
world will think you always so: the impression will remain: it is
in vain, as you advance in years, to change your conduct, and
assume a more serious behavior: you will suffer a long time from
old prejudices: even if we do grow better, we are still suspected;
and I have often known men pay dearly in their old age for the
errors of their youth: have a little regard therefore to the world,
and remember you ought to live now more for that than for yourself.
