Excerpt from The Bachelor of Salamanca When I found that Montanos had no delicacy as to the morals of his sons, I forbore to trouble myself by watching their conduct and, confining myself within the bounds prescribed, contented myself with performing my other duties. I caused my pupils to translate the Latin authors into Castilian, and to turn the works of good Spanish writers into Latin. I read to them the wars of Grenada and other his tories, and accompanied my reading with instructive reflections. Likewise, whenever anything escaped them contrary to the dictates of good breeding or of charity, I did not fail to reprove them. But it was in vain that I remonstrated with them; all my advice was rendered ineffectual by the conversation of their father. Whenever he was in a good humour, he used to boast before them of the libertinism of his youth. It appeared as if he really described his debaucheries in order to induce them to follow his example. There are parents of this description, who throw off all te straint before their children, and who are themselves the means of turning them from the paths of virtue.
