And he that gives us in these days
New Lords may give us new laws.
Though I am young, I scorn to flit
On the wings of borrowed wit.
Hang sorrow! care will kill a cat,
And therefore let ’s be merry.
And I oft have heard defended,—
Little said is soonest mended.
Jack shall pipe, and Jill shall dance.
Jack shall pipe and Gill shall dance.
Night begins to muffle up the day.
Shall I, wasting in despair,
Die because a woman’s fair?
Or make pale my cheeks with care,
’Cause another’s rosy are?
Be she fairer than the day,
Or the flowery meads in May,
If she be not so to me,
What care I how fair she be?
I loved a lass, a fair one,
As fair as e'er was seen;
She was indeed a rare one,
Another Sheba queen:
But, fool as then I was,
I thought she loved me too:
But now, alas! she's left me,
Falero, lero, loo!
I Loved a Lass; reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922)
