The Choice.
A man that's neither high nor low,
In party or in stature;
No noisy rake, or fickle beau,
That's us'd to cringe and flatter.

And let him be no learned fool,
That nods o'er musty books;
Who eats and drinks, and lives by rule,
And waves my words and looks.
That nods o'er musty books;
Who eats and drinks, and lives by rule,
And waves my words and looks.
Let him be easy, frank, and gay,
Of dancing never tir'd;
Always t'have something smart to say,
But silent if requir'd.

Always t'have something smart to say,
But silent if requir'd.
