Catches, canons and drinking songs
to your rude health,
Song: ’Tis thus, and thus farewell to all vain mortals...
Text:
’Tis thus, and thus farewell to all vain mortals do perfection call, to Beauty, to Goodness, to Modesty, sweet Temper and true Piety,
the rest an angel’s pen must tell, long beloved dust farewell,
those blessings which we highest prize are soonest ravished from our eyes.
