Now, good Cesario, but that piece of song,

Of these most brisk and giddy-paced times.

That many people read a song,
Who will not read a sermon.

Do you wonder for what reason, Theodorus, notwithstanding your
frequent requests and importunities, I have never presented you
with my works? I have an excellent reason; it is lest you should
present me with yours.

I can not sing the old songs now!
It is not that I deem them low,
'Tis that I can't remember how
They go.
