Manners maketh the man,’ I’ve heard tell,

And ‘you are what you wear’ others say
‘As thou sow, shalt thou reap’
May haunt your night’s sleep,
If you think of the words you pray. (lines 1-5)

The word that could replace "haunt" in these lines without changing their overall meaning is "revisit."

"Haunt" implies a lingering or recurring presence, which aligns well with the idea of something coming back to one's thoughts or concerns, much like "revisit" suggests returning to those thoughts.

The other options—"scare," "roam," and "interrupt"—do not convey the same sense of recurring contemplation.
