SONGS, SET TO MUSIC BY THE MOST EMINENT MASTERS: 10, by MATTHEW PRIOR Poet's Biography First Line: Why, harry, what ails you, why look you so sad? Last Line: For one it relieves, and it strengthens the other. Subject(s): Drinks & Drinking; Grief; Thought; Wine; Sorrow; Sadness; Thinking | ||||||||
WHY, Harry, what ails you, why look you so sad? To think and ne'er drink, will make you stark mad.
