Time his hours should never drive
O'er the bounds of thirty-five.
High to soar and deep to dive,
Nature gives at thirty-five.
Lacies, stock and tend your hive,
Trifle not at thirty-five;
For, bowe'er we boast and strive,
Life declines from thirty-five,
He that ever hopes to thrive
Must begin by thirty-five;
And all wbo wisely wish to wive
Must look on Thrale at thirty-five.

Call the Betsies, Kates and Jennies,

All the names that banish care;
Lavish of your grandsire's guineas,

Show the spirit of an heir,
All that prey on rice and folly

Joy to see their quarry fly:
There the gamester, light and jolly,

There the lender, grave and sly.
Wealth, my lad, was made to wander,

Let it wander as it will;
Call the jockey, call the pander,

Bid them come and take their all.
When the bonny blade carouses,

Pockets full, and spirits high-
What are acres? what are bouses?

Only dirt, or wet or dry.
Should the guardian friend or mother

Tell the woes of wilful waste :
Scorn their council, scorn their pother,

You can hang or drown at last,
