Sad songs were made so long ago, my dear?

This day I am to be a bride, you know,

Why sing sad songs, were made so long ago?

CHILD

O mother, lay your costly robes aside,

For you may never be another's bride.

That line I learn'd not in the old sad song.

MOTHER

I pray thee, pretty one, now hold thy tongue,

Play with the bridemaids; and be glad, my boy,
