Songs Compleat,
When the Frost, Ice and Snow, do benumb things be-
low,
We Chirp as merry as Larks ;
Our Sack and our Madness, consumes cold and sad-
ness,
And we are the Jovial Sparks.
Then be thou Mad, &c.
Has thy Mistress frown'd on thee, or thy Rival out-
gone thee ?
Let Sober and Wise Fellows pine ;
Whilst bright Miralmd and goodly Dulcind,
And the rest of the Fairies are thine.
Then be thou Mad, &c.
A Mad-man needs baulk no manner of talk,
His Tongues never guilty with Treason ;
But a Wise Knave would suffer, if the same he should
utter,
For a wise Man's Guilt is his Reason.
Then be thou Mad, &c.
A SONG.
