Raising a feud so fierce and wild

As never can be reconciled;

The best of friends make out neglectful,

And 'ev'ry think that's disrespectful;'

Nay, should the deuce himself so twist it

That you 'not no how' can't resist it,

You'll turn the kindest invitations,

Into malignant accusations!

And thus both parties, lost in wonder,

Of course you keep quite poles asunder.—
