Say that the House that makes our Laws
Is but an Infants' School;
Say that the World is old and doomed,
Where every man's a fool;
Say that the worms make skipping-ropes
Of Beauty's hair at last;
That Love must die, as Age comes cold -
To prove it was but Lust:
Say what you like, and I'll be calm,
No matter what I think;
But if you value blood and bones -
No disrespect to Drink!
