"King Arthur", Z. 628 - Act Five -"Your hay it is Mow'd, and your Corn is Reap'd" (cond. J. E. Gardiner)
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, And merrily roar out our harvest home.
Chorus Come, boys, come, 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?
All 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 pot; Burnt to pot, burnt to pot?
All Burnt to pot, burnt to pot, Till pudding and dumpling are burnt to pot.
Comus We'll toss off our ale till we cannot stand; And heigh for the honour of old England; Old England, old England?
All Old England, old England, And heigh for the honour of old England.
