Mind your own business And go on your way, Don't pay much attention To what people say. For they will condemn you For singing a song, For laughing out loud, Or a face that is long. If you save your money, They say you are "tight." Spend it quite freely, It still isn't right. Whatever you do, Wherever you go, There are many to say, "It should not be so." You are "damned" if you do, You are "damned" if you don't, So you get the same curse, If you "do" or you "don't." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ODE ON THE SPRING by THOMAS GRAY ON THE DEATH OF SIR THOMAS WYATT by HENRY HOWARD ON LUCY, COUNTESS OF BEDFORD by BEN JONSON IN MEMORIAM A.H.H.: 83 by ALFRED TENNYSON ODES: BOOK 2: ODE 4.
