Recitative.—Sir Marmaduke.
Be happy all—the feast is spread before ye,
Fear nothing, but enjoy yourselves, I pray!
Eat, ay, and drink—be merry, I implore ye,
For once let thoughtless Folly rule the day.
Teacup Brindisi.
Eat, drink, and be gay,
Banish all worry and sorrow;
Laugh gaily to-day,
Weep, if you’re sorry, to-morrow!
