WORKS AND DAYS: NEIGHBOURS AND KINSFOLK, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Call him who loves you to your feast
Last Line: But kinsmen dawdle o'er their gear.
Subject(s): Family Life; Neighbors; Relatives


CALL him who loves you to your feast;
Leave out a foe. By no means least
Invite a man whose house is near;
For if upon a place comes hurt,
The neighbours hurry out ungirt
But kinsmen dawdle o'er their gear.
