Folly am l;
This is my day.
The old, the young,
The grave, the gay,
Abide awhile with me to cheer
The worlds dull, humdrum way.
The richest man,
The proudest girl;
The polished wit,
The heavy churl
Are caught off guard and jostled much
In folly's merry whirl
No harm is meant;
Ais but for fun;
And when the day
It's course has run,
Whoever's done the mischief gay
Have all themselves been done"
