¶Liedtext

By mirth much sickness is clean abject, By mirth much malice is set at rest; For mirth drives men out of suspect, With mirth much sorrow is overpress'd; And with mirth each heart is eased, And without mirth few hearts are pleased. Mirth quick'neth men's wits, the bodies maketh strong; Mirth quieteth men's minds, setteth sorrows at rest. Mirth comforteth the soul that mirth be not wrong, Mirth with honesty is ever the best: For honest mirth the soul maketh glad, And mirth with sin the soul maketh sad.
