So brisk and gay, and then so slow!

O joy and terror! mirth and woe!

Ting, ting, there is no God; ting, ting,—

Dong, there is no God; dong,

Ting, ting, there is no God; ting, ting.

Come, dance and play, and merrily sing,

Staid Englishman, who toil and slave

From your first childhood to your grave,

And seldom spend and always save—
