COMUS Your hay, it is mow'd and your corn is reap'd, Your barns will be full and your hovels heap'd. Come, boys, come, Come, boys, come, And merrily roar out our harvest home.
CHORUS OF PEASANTS Harvest home, Harvest home, And merrily roar out our harvest home.
COMUS We've cheated the parson, we'll cheat him again, For why shou'd a blockhead have one in ten? One in ten, one in ten, For why shou'd a blockhead have one in ten?
PEASANTS One in ten, one in ten, For why shou'd a blockhead have one in ten?
COMUS For prating so long, like a book-learn'd sot, Till pudding and dumpling are burnt to the pot: Burnt to pot, burnt to pot, Till pudding and dumpling are burnt to pot.
PEASANTS Burnt to pot, burnt to pot, Till pudding and dumpling are burnt to the pot.
COMUS We'll toss off our ale till we cannot stand; And heigh for the honour of old England; Old England, Old England, And heigh for the honour of old England.
PEASANTS Old England, Old England, And heigh for the honour of old England.
