Quick, quick, away, dispatch!
Be nimble, nimble, quick, away!
Bells are now a-ringing,
Maids are singing!
The priest for you doth stay.
An holiday, a happy day, a merry!
The first of something.
Be nimble, quick, away!
quick, quick, away, an holiday!
No haste but good, yet stay,
a while of free:
I bound must be.
But, bound to she that's bound to me;
such bondage makes me free,
With joy I come away!
