But make the best of a bad Bargain.

I.
This great World is a Trouble,
Where all must their Fortune bear;
Make the most of the Bubble,
You'll have but a Neighbour's Fare.
Where all must their Fortune bear;
Make the most of the Bubble,
You'll have but a Neighbour's Fare.
Let not Jealousy teaze ye,
Think of nought but to please ye;
What's past is but in vain,
To wish for the Time again.
Think of nought but to please ye;
What's past is but in vain,
To wish for the Time again.
II.
When dull Cares do attack ye,
Drinking will those Clouds repel;
Four good Bottles will make ye
Happy,—they seldom fail.
Drinking will those Clouds repel;
Four good Bottles will make ye
Happy,—they seldom fail.
If a Fifth shou'd be wanted,
Ask the Gods, 'twill be granted;
Then you'll easy obtain
A Remedy for all Pain.
