Classic Poem

E ROS and Linus are debauched, you say.
Their private life is no concern to you;
If Matho's mistress costs him thousands, pray,
Does that expense deplete your revenue?
And, seeing you can snore the whole night through,
What matter though Sertorius drink till day?
Is Lupus deep in debt? If you refuse
To give or lend to him you will not lose.
Your own concerns that need attending to
You carefully ignore and thrust away —
Your clothes unpaid for still, tho' far from new,
That no one now will trust you for a day;
Item, your lady is a trifle gay;
Item, your daughter's dower is overdue;
So with a dozen points; but I agree
That your affairs are no concern to me.
