Come on, my Masters, who begins ? I think it is

CORIDON'S SONG. 



Oh ! the sweet contentment 

 The Countryman doth find ! 



Heigh trolollie lollie loe, 



Heiyh trolollie lee, 

 That quiet contemplation 

 Possesseth all my mind : 



Then care away, 



And wend along with me. 



For Courts are full of flattery, 

 As hath too oft been tried ; 



Heigh trolollie lollie loe, etc. 

 The City full of wantonness, 

 And both are full of pride : 



Then care away, etc. 



But Oh ! the honest Countryman 

 Speaks truly from his heart, 



Heigh trolollie lollie loe, etc.
