And shuffled forth in deep dejection.

MISERERE DOMINE

Three things a man can do without:

Debtors, a scolding wife, and gout.

First hates for what (he knows) they’ve got,

Second for what (she knows) he’s not,

The third of this unholy lot

Hates him and all he hateth not,

Brisk walking and the pewter pot,

Sound sleep and jovial company.
