Look babies in your eyes, my pretty sweet one.

Sing a song of sixpence.

Oh, woman, perfect woman! what distraction
Was meant to mankind when thou wast made a devil!

Oh, woman, perfect woman! what distraction
Was meant to mankind when thou wast made a devil!
What an inviting hell invented.
That place that does contain
My books, the best companions, is to me
A glorious court, where read more
That place that does contain
My books, the best companions, is to me
A glorious court, where hourly I converse
With the old sages and philosophers;
And sometimes, for variety, I confer
With kings and emperors, and weigh their counsels;
Calling their victories, if unjustly got,
Unto a strict account, and, in my fancy,
Deface their ill-placed statues.
Let the world slide.
Let the world slide.
Evil beginning houres may end in good.

Speak boldly, and speak truly, shame the devil.
Speak boldly, and speak truly, shame the devil.
I find the medicine worse than the malady.

Death hath so many doors to let out life.
Death hath so many doors to let out life.
From the crown of our head to the sole of our feet.
From the crown of our head to the sole of our feet.
