What is the use of fretting? Better take Things coolly, nor allow ourselves to fume; To growl about it cannot better make A thing that 's wrong, nor darkened spots illume. We have, we know, but little time to stay, With everything around us to enjoy: What sense were it to waste our time away, And leave the real gold for its alloy? Fret not, O, fret not! — be a jolly soul, — That is to say, of course, be if you can; Yield not yourself to anger's fierce control, But let good-nature's sunshine warm you, man. — Now, may perplexing mischief haunt the life Of that performer on that wretched fife!
