THE COMPLETE ANGLER. 81 



Our clothing is good sheepskins. 

 Grey russet for our wives. 



Heigh trolie loUie loe, Sfc. 

 *Tis warmth and not gay clothing 

 That doth prolong our lives : 



Then care away, 8fc. 



The ploughman though he labor hardy 

 Yet on the holiday. 



Heigh trolie lollie loe, 8fc. 

 JVo emperor so merrily, 

 Does pass his time away : 



Then care away, 8fc. 



To recompense our tillage. 

 The heavens afford us showers ; 



Heigh trolie lollie loe, 8fc. 

 And for our sweet refreshments 

 The earth affords us bowers : 



Then care away, 8fc. 



The cuckoo and the nightingale 

 Full merrily do sing. 



Heigh trolie lollie loe, Sfc. 

 And with their pleasant roundelays 

 Bid welcome to the spring : 



Then care away, Sfc. 



This is Jiot half the hajypiness 

 The countryman enjoys ; 



Heigh trolie lollie loe, 8fc. 

 Though others think they have as much. 

 Yet he that says so lies : 



Then come away. 



Turn countryman with me.

Pisc. Well sung, Coridon ; this song was sung with mettle, 

 and it was choicely fitted to the occasion ; I shall love you for it 

 as long as I know you : I would you were a brother of the angle ; 



* Jo. Chalkhill, the author of Thealma and Clearchus. " For my 

 brother Chalkhill," Iz. Wa. wrote on a presentation copy of his " Lives," 

 recently in the Rev. Mr. Cotton's collection, as I learn from a catalogue of 

 his sale. The copy sold for five guineas. See Bib. Preface. — im. Ed.
