Come, ye party jangling swains, Leave your flocks and quit the plains; Friends to country, friends to court, Nothing here shall spoil your sport. Ever welcome to our feast, Welcome ev'ry friendly guest. Sprightly widows, come away, Laughing dames and virgins gay; Little gaudy fluttering misses, Smiling hopes of future blisses. Ever welcome to our feast, Welcome ev'ry friendly guest. All tha rip'ning sun can bring, Beauteous summer, beauteous spring; In one varying scene we show The green, the ripe, the bud, the blow. Ever welcome to our feast, Welcome ev'ry friendly guest. Comus jesting, music charming, Wine inspiring, beauty warming; Rage and party malice dies, Peace returns and discord flies. Ever welcome to our feast, Welcome ev'ry friendly guest.
