Wedding joys

Let us be jolly,

Love is no folly,

Young hearts must never

Shun its endeavour.

Fiddles keep singing,

Bells gaily ringing,

Kiss in full measure,

Taste ev'ry pleasure.

Clasp hands in rapture,

Hearts held in capture,

Kiss in full measure,

Taste ev'ry pleasure.

So do not tarry,

Hasten to marry,

Let the fools only

Always stay lonely.

Let old folks mumble,

Gossip and grumble,

Their advice either

Won't make you blither.

In their day never

Were they more clever.

Let us be jolly,

Love is no folly.
