John Keats - A Party Of LoversJohn Keats - A Party Of Lovers
Work rating: Low


Pensive they sit, and roll their languid eyes, Nibble their toast, and cool their tea with sighs, Or else forget the purpose of the night, Forget their tea -- forget their appetite. See with cross`d arms they sit -- ah! happy crew, The fire is going out and no one rings For coals, and therefore no coals Betty brings. A fly is in the milk-pot -- must he die     By a humane society? No, no; there Mr. Werter takes his spoon, Inserts it, dips the handle, and lo! soon The little straggler, sav`d from perils dark, Across the teaboard draws a long wet mark.     Arise! take snuffers by the handle, There`s a large cauliflower in each candle. A winding-sheet, ah me! I must away To No. 7, just beyond the circus gay. `Alas, my friend! your coat sits very well; Where may your tailor live?`  `I may not tell. O pardon me -- I`m absent now and then. Where might my tailor live?  I say again I cannot tell, let me no more be teaz`d -- He lives in Wapping, might live where he pleas`d.`
