Mirth cannot read more

To move wild laughter in the throat of death?

Mirth cannot move a soul in agony.

An ounce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow.

The more fools the more one laughs.

The mirth and fun grew fast and furious.

The mirth and fun grew fast and furious.

Be large in mirth; anon we'll drink a measure
The table round.

Be large in mirth; anon we'll drink a measure
The table round.

A man may weep upon his wedding day.

A man may weep upon his wedding day.

And merrily hent the stile-a.
A merry heart goes all read more

Jog on, jog on, the foot-path way,
And merrily hent the stile-a.
A merry heart goes all the day,
Your sad tires in a mile-a.
