¶Lyrics / Text

The ape, the monkey and baboon did meet, And breaking of their fast in Friday street, Two of them swore together solemnly In their three natures was a sympathy. Nay, quoth baboon, I do deny that strain: I have more knavery in me than you twain. Why, quoth the ape, I have a horse at will In Paris Garden for to ride on still, And there show tricks. Tush, quoth the monkey, For better tricks in great men’s houses lie. Tush, quoth baboon, when men do know I come, For sport from city, country they will run.
