FAB. XLVII. The Holyday and its Eve.
A Discontented Holyday-Eve revildThe Festival his Lord, with these foul words,What dost thou take thy self to be? thou Drone?Thou never setst thy lazy hands to Work,Yet farest deliciously, goest richly clad,And spendst, what I by Labour get and Sweat,He that wont Work, unworthy is to Eat.To whom the injurd Holyday replyd,Content your self with your Condition, Friend,It is your duty to maintain your Lord,'Tis upon me alone, that you depend,My being Easter, makes you Easter-Eve.
