Catches, canons and drinking songs

to your rude health,

Item: “Come boys, come, let’s merry be and laugh with...

For Three voices, in G major

Song: “Come boys, come, let’s merry be and laugh with...

Come Boys come let's merry be let's merry be and laugh with Mirth and Glee and drink with Mirth and Glee what means that melancholy air we're free from Love and free from Care we're free from Love and free from Care
Ah! your mirth is all in vain all in vain alas! alas! to ease my Lovesick pain, proud Celia drives me to despair such Charms such scorn what heart can bear! such Charms such scorn what heart can bear
hang the Jade the fellow's mad see see see see ha! ha! ha! ha! see see see how he sighs and looks so sad no more pursue the peevish Lass but gayly quaff the flowing Glass but gayly but gayly quaff the flowing Glass
