Song: Come buy my fine wares, plums, apples, and...

by William Hayes . A Catch for Three voices , in A minor
3/4, Larghetto

Text:

Come buy my fine wares,
plums, apples, and pears,
a hundred a penny,
in conscience too many,
come will you have any?
my children are seven,
I wish them in heaven,
my husband’s a sot,
with his pipe and his pot,
not a farthing will gain ‘em,
and I must maintain ’em.
