    Oh! Mr Best You're Very Bad by Jane Austen

    Oh! Mr. Best, you're very bad
    And all the world shall know it;
    Your base behaviour shall be sung
    By me, a tunefull Poet.--
    You used to go to Harrowgate
    Each summer as it came,
    And why I pray should you refuse
    To go this year the same?--

    The way's as plain, the road's as smooth,
    The Posting not increased;
    You're scarcely stouter than you were,
    Not younger Sir at least.--

    If e'er the waters were of use
    Why now their use forego?
    You may not live another year,
    All's mortal here below.--

    It is your duty Mr Best
    To give your health repair.
    Vain else your Richard's pills will be,
    And vain your Consort's care.

    But yet a nobler Duty calls
    You now towards the North.
    Arise ennobled--as Escort
    Of Martha Lloyd stand forth.

    She wants your aid--she honours you
    With a distinguished call.
    Stand forth to be the friend of her
    Who is the friend of all.--

    Take her, and wonder at your luck,
    In having such a Trust.
    Her converse sensible and sweet
    Will banish heat and dust.--

    So short she'll make the journey seem
    You'll bid the Chaise stand still.
    T'will be like driving at full speed
    From Newb'ry to Speen hill.--

    Convey her safe to Morton's wife
    And I'll forget the past,
    And write some verses in your praise
    As finely and as fast.

    But if you still refuse to go
    I'll never let your rest,
    Buy haunt you with reproachful song
    Oh! wicked Mr. Best!--
    اللھم صلی علٰی محمد وعلٰی آل محمد کما صلیت علٰی ابراھیم وعلٰی آل ابراھیم انک حمید مجید۔
    اللھم بارک علٰی محمد وعلٰی آل محمد کما بارکت علٰی ابراھیم وعلٰی آل ابراھیم انک حمید مجید۔
