_Oh the sweet contentment
The country man doth find!
high trolollie laliloe
high trolollie lee,
That quiet contemplation
Possesseth all my mind_:
Then care away,
and wend along with me.

_For Courts are full of flattery,
As hath too oft been tri'd;
high trolollie lollie loe
high trolollie lee,
The City full of wantonness,
and both are full of pride_:
Then care away,
and wend along with me.

_But oh the honest countryman
Speaks truly from his heart,
high trolollie lollie loe
high trolollie lee,
His pride is in his Tillage,
his Horses and his Cart_:
Then care away,
and wend along with me.

_Our clothing is good sheep skins
Gray russet for our wives,
