chap, v.] THE COMPLETE ANGLER. 87 



His pride is in his tillage, 



His horses, and his cart : 



Then care away, etc. 



Our clothing is good sheep-skins, 

 Greg rasset for our wives, 



Heigh trolollie lollie loe, etc. 

 'Tis warmth, and not gay clothing, 

 That doth prolong our lives : 



Then care away, etc. 



The Ploughman, though he labour hard, 

 Yet on the holiday, 



Heigh trolollie lollie loe, etc. 

 No Emperor so merrily 

 Does pass his time away : 



Then care away, etc. 



To recompense our tillage, 



The Heavens afford us showers ; 



Heigh trolollie lollie loe, etc. 

 And for our sweet refreshments 

 The earth affords us bowers : 



Then care away, etc. 



The cuckoo and the nightingale 

 Full merrily do sing, 



Heigh trolollie lollie loe, etc. 

 And icith their pleasant roundelays 

 Bid welcome to the Spring : 



Then care away, etc.
