Why should I join with those in Play, br In whom I've no delight, br Who curse and swear, but never pray, br Who call ill Names, and fight. br br I hate to hear a wanton Song, br Their Words offend my Ears: br I should not dare defile my Tongue br With Language such as theirs. br br Away from Fools I'll turn my Eyes, br Nor with the Scoffers go; br I would be walking with the Wise, br That wiser I may grow. br br From one rude Boy that's us'd to mock br Ten learn the wicked Jest; br One sickly Sheep infects the Flock, br And poysons all the rest.
