XIX.Ha ha this world doth passe

[1]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha this world doth passe
Most merily most merily ile bee sworne,
For many an honest Indian Asse
Goes for a vnicorne, farra diddle diddle dyno this is idle idle fino,

Tygh hygh, tygh hygh, O sweet delight,
he tickles this age that can,
call Tulliaes Ape a Marmasyte.
And Ledaes Goose a swan,
Fara diddle deyno,
this is idle fyno.

3

So so so so fine English dayes,
for false play is no reproch,
for he that doth the Cochman prayse,
may safely vse the Coch,
fara dyddle deyno,
this is idle fyno.
