Life is a jest; and all things show it. I thought so once; but now I know it. When we risk no contradiction,/ It prompts the tongue to deal in fiction. 'Tis a gross error, held in schools,/ That Fortune always favours fools. I hate the man who builds his name on the ruins of another's fame.

On leaving school he was apprenticed to a silk mercer in London , but being weary, according to Samuel Johnson , "of either the restraint or the servility of his occupation," he soon returned to Barnstaple, where he spent some time with his uncle, the Rev. John Hanmer, the Nonconformist minister of the town. He then returned to London.

    Gay, John 1685-1732, English playwright and poet, b. Barnstaple, Devon. Educated at the local grammar school, he was apprenticed to a silk mercer for a brief time before commencing his literary career in London. The first of his writings to have any real merit were the mock pastoral, The Shepherd's Week (1714), and Trivia (1716), an amusing description of London life. He is remembered chiefly today for his ballad opera, The Beggar's Opera (1728), a lighthearted story of highwaymen and thieves, which satirizes both the corruption of contemporary genteel society and the then current fashion for Italian opera. Its sequel, Polly, written the following year, was suppressed by Sir Robert Walpole since it (like The Beggar's Opera ) ridiculed his government. Gay was also the author of two books of verse called Fables (1727, 1738), which were very popular in his generation. See his poetical works edited by G. C. Faber (1926, repr. 1969); study by P. A. Spacks (1965).
