Advice To Lovers.

Topics: classic

I knew an old man at a Fair      Who made it his twice-yearly task      To clamber on a cider cask      And cry to all the yokels there:,      "Lovers to-day and for all time         Preserve the meaning of my rhyme:         Love is not kindly nor yet grim         But does to you as you to him.      "Whistle, and Love will come to you,         Hiss, and he fades without a word,         Do wrong, and he great wrong will do,         Speak, he retells what he has heard.      "Then all you lovers have good heed         Vex not young Love in word or deed:         Love never leaves an unpaid debt,         He will not pardon nor forget."      The old man's voice was sweet yet loud      And this shows what a man was he,      He'd scatter apples to the crowd      And give great draughts of cider, free.
