Come
hither on Sunday, and see
2my
wife and the children, the garden and me.
Don't fail
to come early — you'll sniff the fresh breeze—
after
6 in the morning, as soon as you please.
We've brown
bread and mutton, at 1, for our feeding
we've fruit
trees in blossom, & rabbits a-breeding.
Come, and
make a long day—
I say, Come!— if you don't!
I'll not hear of a "cann't"
Which is cant & means won't.
So come, my dear Charley — and let's have a talk —
I want one especially — and we can walk
or
sit down, as we please, within doors our out,
and
pull our opinions or old books about.
But I wish, above all, to chat on affairs
of importance to us, and becoming our
years.
which, you know, are by no means so long as
we wish.
And as, really, I'm serious, pray dont you cry pish!
but
Come.
And, now mind, if you haven't a coat,
why, just come without one. So drop me a note
And say you will —
if you don't I shall groan
Oh Charley! — you
Jack-bottom Charley, O!
