TO A JILTED SWAIN
Get thee back neglected friends;And repay, as each one lends,Tithes of shallow-sounding gleeOr keen-ringing raillery:Get thee from lone vigils; beBut in jocund company,Where is laughter and acclaimBoisterous above the name.—Get where sulking husbands sipAle-house cheer, with pipe at lip;And where Mol the barmaid saithCurst is she that marrieth.

Get thee back neglected friends;
And repay, as each one lends,
Tithes of shallow-sounding glee
Or keen-ringing raillery:
Get thee from lone vigils; be
But in jocund company,
Where is laughter and acclaim
Boisterous above the name.—
Get where sulking husbands sip
Ale-house cheer, with pipe at lip;
And where Mol the barmaid saith
Curst is she that marrieth.
