LET the world run round,
Let the world run round,
And knowe neither end nor station,
Our glory is the test of a merry merry breast,
In this little quiet nation.

WE eat, we drink, we laugh, we sing,
To-morrow freely comes and goes,
We strike up musick's gentle strings,
And understand no other blows.
      Let the world run round, &c.

IF any, sour unhallow'd breath,
Our harmless sports should dare defile,
Let that man fall in love with death
Whilst we the grieffs of life beguile.
      Let the world run round, &c.

WHAT tho' our peace much envy,'d be,
Our fears they, need not to increase,
For ev'ry where abroad we see
That men do ever fight for peace.
      Let the world run round, &c.

THUS from all enemies secure,
Our heads and hearts as light as air,
Not made the heavy joke to endure,
Of too much wealth, or to,, much care.
      Let the world run round, &c.

GOLD, and the troubled strife for gold,
Are evils unto us unknown;
Our clothing's neither gay nor cold,
It covers us, and its our own.
      Let the world run round, &c.

WE do not liberty contrive,
Ourselves in bondage for to bring,
As birds to snare do haste alive,
By the loose freedom of the wing.
      Let the world run round, &c.

OUR shepherds on their reeds do play,
Charming their sweethearts and their sheep,
Neither of which do go astray,
By nature taught their bounds to keep.
      Let the world run round, &c.

OUR mistresses are still the same,
No rivall's blowing at our fire,
We live and frolick in love's flame,
Without the pain of fond desire.
      Let the world run round, &c.

IF any fool on change be bent,
And think to thrive the Lord knows when,
Let him first go and learn what's meant
By, excise and committee men.
      Let the world run round, &c.

THE master of these festive sports,
Commander of the truest hearts,
Takes to himself the serious thoughts,
And leaves to us the merry parts.
      Let the world run round, &c.

SO now, good Master, health to Thee,
And, if there's one who will not pass
The cup, let him hence banished be,
To quench his thirst in the Dhoo-ghlass.
      Let the world run round, &c.
