  AIR -- 'Yf care do cawse men crye'
  
      F          Bb     F                   Eb     Bb      C
  Why let the strucken Deere go weepe, the Hart vngalled play: 
       Bb                C7?   F        (Bb)       Dm         C7     F
  For some must watch, while some must sleepe; So runnes the world away. 
  
  Some men for sudden joy do weep and some in sorrow sing;
  When as they are in danger deep to put away mourning.
  
  Between them both I will begin, being in joy and pain;
  With sighing to lament my sin and yet rejoice again.
  
  The east, the bird, the fish the fowl, their maker do obey;
  But I which am a living soul am far more worse than they.
  
  
  "Would not this Sir, and a Forrest of Feathers, if the rest of my Fortunes turne Turke with me; with two Prouinciall Roses on my rac'd Shooes, get me a Fellowship in a crie of Players sir." (Hamlet)
