¶Lyrics / Text

Rejoice, oh, English hearts, rejoice, rejoice, oh, lovers dear; Rejoice, oh, city, town, and country, rejoice eke every shere! For now the fragrant flowers do spring and sprout in seemly sort, The little birds do sit and sing, the lambs do make fine sport; Up then, I say, both young and old, both man and maid a-Maying, With drums and guns that bounce aloud, and merry tabor playing! ''The Knight of the burning Pestle'' Act IV, Scene V
