Classic Poem

Ha ha! ha ha! This world doth pass
Most merrily I'll be sworn,
For many an honest Indian ass
Goes for a unicorn.
Fara diddle dyno,
This is idle fyno.

Tie hie! tie hie! O sweet delight!
He tickles this age that can

Call Tullia's ape a marmasyte
And Leda's goose a swan.
Fara diddle dyno,
This is idle fyno.

So so! so so! Fine English days!
For false play is no reproach,
For he that doth the coachman praise
May safely use the coach.
Fara diddle dyno,
This is idle fyno.
