Matthew Prior (Мэтью Прайор)

Songs Set to Music: 1. Set by Mr. Abel

Reading ends in melancholy,
Wine breeds vices and diseases,
Wealth is but care, and love but folly,
Only friendship truly pleases.
My wealth, my books, my flask, my Molly,
Farewell all if friendship ceases. 

1. An Extempore Invitation to the Earl of Oxford, Lord High Treasurer
