THE HOUR-GLASS
Second Pupil
Here is a subject—where have the
Fool's wits gone? (singing)
'Who dragged your wits away
Where no one knows?
Or have they run off
On their own pair of shoes?'
Fool
Give me a penny.
First Pupil
- The Master will find your wits,
Second Pupil
And when they are found, you must not beg for pennies.
Third Pupil
They are hidden somewhere in the badger's hole,
But you must carry an old candle end
If you would find them.
