They that do change old love for new,
Pray gods, they change for worse!George Peele

And three merry boys are we,
As ever did sing in a hempen string
Under the gallow-tree.John Fletcher

And three merry boys are we.
As ever did sing in a hempen string
Under the gallows tree.John Fletcher
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Merry merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra,
Gay your life must be!Marion Sinclair
