English.png English text

Whilst youthful sports are lasting,
to feasting turn our fasting.
Fa la la.
With revels and with wassails,
make grief and care our vassals.
Fa la la.

For youth it well beseemeth,
that pleasure he esteemeth.
Fa la la.
And sullen age is hated,
that mirth would have abated.
Fa la la.
