"I'll play the madcap free for once,
For once I'll play the fool—
To Paris fair I'll straight repair
And there will found a school.
"To Paris fair I'll straight repair
And there a school will found,
To which all ladies fair will come
From all the city round.
"Oh! all the ladies fair will come
Unto my school so gay:
I'll choose the fairest of them all,
And send the rest away."
O, gai!
I'll never keep a jay again,
Ah! never more I'll keep a jay.
