The Vintage to the Dungeon.
A Song.
Sing out pent Soules, sing cheerefully!
Care Shackles you in Liberty,
Mirth frees you in Captivity:
Would you double fetters adde?
Else why so sadde?
Care Shackles you in Liberty,
Mirth frees you in Captivity:
Would you double fetters adde?
Else why so sadde?
Chorus.
Besides your pinion'd armes you'l finde
Griefe too can manckell the minde.
Griefe too can manckell the minde.
Live then Pris'ners uncontrol'd;
Drinke oth' strong, the Rich, the Old,
Till Wine too hath your Wits in hold;
Then if still your Jollitie,
And Throats are free;
Drinke oth' strong, the Rich, the Old,
Till Wine too hath your Wits in hold;
Then if still your Jollitie,
And Throats are free;
Chorus.
Tryumph in your Bonds and Paines,
And daunce to th'Musick of your Chaines.
And daunce to th'Musick of your Chaines.
