Long time thou hast been tarrying here, and fain thou would’st me kill,
But faith, dull care, you never shall have thy will

Too much care will make a young man grey,
And too much care will turn an old man to clay;
My wife shall dance, and I shall sing so merrily pass the day,
For I hold it one of the wisest things, to drive dull care away.

FINIS.
