Thomas Weelkes - Ha ha, this world doth pass

Ha ha! ha ha! this world doth pass
Most merrily, I’ll be sworn;
For many an honest Indian ass
Goes for an Unicorn
Farra, diddle dino;
This is idle fino

Ty hye! ty hye! O sweet delight!
He tickles this age that can
Call Tullia’s ape a marmosyte
And Leda’s goose a swan
Farra diddle dino;
This is idle fino

So so! so so! fine English days!
When false play’s no reproach:
For he that doth the coachman praise
May safely use the coach
Farra diddle dino;
This is idle fino
