Catches, canons and drinking songs

to your rude health,

Song: To thee, and to a maid who kindly will upon her...

by Henry Purcell . A Catch for Three voices , in G minor

Text:

To thee, and to a maid
who kindly will upon her back be laid,
and laugh, and sing, and kiss and play,
and wanton out a summer’s day,
such a lass, kind friend, and drinking
give me, great Jove, and damn the thinking.
