hopes that the house would 90 to, for

Three young men rode into the town,
Side by side as the sun went down,
Shook hands and parted TO seek their rest,
And each to live as to him seemed best.
The first caroused with cards and wine
Decked his mistress with jewels fine,
And laughed as he tossed his glass on high,
Nor rocked, God help him, he bad to die.
The second did naugnt but moan and pray,
Groan through the night and through the day
He lived in fear, God help him, say
And only thought that he had to die.
The third enjoyed the goods he had;
Laughed with the gay and wept with the sad,
Nor ever forgot, God bless him, say 1,
That he had TO live and he had to die.
