And now, my honey love,
Will we return unto thy father's house
And revel it as bravely as the best,

With ruffs and cuffs and farthingales and things;
With scarfs and fans and double change of brav'ry,
With amber bracelets, beads, and all this knav'ry.

We ne'er shall see him more;
He used to wear an old blue coat
All buttoned down before.
