Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy,
Whose trust, ever childlike, no cares could destroy,
Be there at our waking, and give us, we pray,
Your bliss in our hearts, Lord, at the break of the day.

Why so pale and wan, fond lover?
Prithee, why so pale?
Her feet beneath her petticoat,
Like little mice, stole in and out.
Love is the fart
Of every heart:
It pains a man when 'tis kept close,
And others doth offend, when 'tis let loose.
Out upon it, I have loved
Three whole days together.
Why so pale and wan, fond lover?
Prithee, why so pale?
