TO A JILTED SWAIN
Reading edition
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.
