We wish you all a Happy New Year!
Give us now money to buy him a bier
And if you don't, we'll bury him here!
(
Rub-a-tub, and fife
.)
(Princes laugh and clap hands.)
1st Prince: That is very good.
2nd Prince: We must give them some money to
bury the wren!
Guardian: Come on then and I will give you
some. They will be glad of it. Play now the
harp as you go.
