COME, LET US DRINK (Henry Purcell - 1701)

Come, Come, let us drink
let us drink, let us drink, let us drink
'Tis in vain to think
Like fools on grief or sad-ness
Let our mon-ney fly
and our sor-rows dye
All world-ly care is mad-ness

But wine, wine, wine
wine, wine and good cheer
Will, in spight of our fear
In-spire our hearts with mirth, boys;
The time we live to wine
to wine let us give
Since All, since all must turn to earth, boys

Hand, hand a-bout, hand hand a-bout
Hand, hand a-bout the bowl
The de-light of my soul
And to my hand, to my hand com-mend it
a fig, a fig, for chink
'Twas made to buy drink
And be-fore we go hence we'll spend it.
