——:o:——

To dun, or not to dun? That is the question!

Whether ’tis better that the purse should suffer

For lack of cash, by baneful emptiness,

Or by a gentle dun to fill it up?

To dun—to be denied—denied with “call again;”

Ah! there’s the rub! for in that “call again

What evils come—what disappointment sore—

Chagrin and woe; what time is wasted?

What shoes are worn, in consequence,
