think on
Reflect at length
Think on means to consider or reflect upon something, chiefly in British or dialectal usage: Think on what I've told you.
It carries a slightly old-fashioned or regional flavor compared to the more common "think about" or "think over." In some dialects, it suggests sustained contemplation rather than passing thought.
