There is a jewel, which no Indian mines
There is a jewel, which no Indian mines
Can buy, no chymic art can counterfeit,
Can buy, no chymic art can counterfeit,

The homely whistle, to sweet music’s strain.
The homely whistle, to sweet music’s strain.
Seldom it comes, to few from Heaven sent,
Seldom it comes, to few from Heaven sent,
That much in little, all in nought content.
That much in little, all in nought content.}}

There is a jewel, which no Indian mines
Can buy, no chymic art can counterfeit,
It makes men rich in greatest poverty,
Makes water wine; turns wooden cups to gold;
The homely whistle, to sweet music’s strain.
Seldom it comes, to few from Heaven sent,
That much in little, all in nought content.
