“I have been in love and in debt and in drink
This many and many a year;
And those three plagues enough one would think,
For one poor mortal to bear.

Twas drink made me fall in love,
And love made me run into debt;
And though I have struggled and struggled and strove
I cannot get out of them yet.”

The Mad Lover (c.1650) ~ Alexander Brome
