¶Lyrics / Text

''1st Voice:'' Humour, say what mak'st thou here In the presence of a queen? ''2nd Voice:'' Princes hold conceit most dear, All conceit in humour seen. ''1st Voice:'' Thou art a heavy laden mood. ''2nd Voice:'' Humour is Invention's food. ''Chorus:'' But never humour yet was true, But that which only pleaseth you. ''1st Voice:'' O I am as heavy as earth, Say then, who is Humour now? ''2nd Voice:'' I am now inclined to mirth, Humour I as well as thou. ''1st Voice:'' Why then 'tis I am drowned in woe. ''2nd Voice:'' No, no. Wit is cherished so. ''Chorus:'' But never humour yet was true, But that which only pleaseth you. ''1st Voice:'' Mirth then is drowned in sorrow's brim. O in sorrow all things sleep. ''2nd Voice:'' No, no, fool, the light'st things swim. Heavy things sink to the deep. ''1st Voice:'' In her presence all things smile. ''2nd Voice:'' Humour frolic then awhile. ''Chorus:'' But never humour yet was true, But that which only pleaseth you.
