Sweet sir, sit. I’ll be with you anon. Most sweet sir, sit.
Master page, good master page, sit. Proface. What you want

all.

Sit, kind sir; I’ll be with you in a second. Very kind sir, please sit. Here’s to you! What we lack in food, we make up for in drink. You must endure it; good intentions are what count.

SILENCE
(sings) Be merry, be merry, my wife has all,
For women are shrews, both short and tall.
'Tis merry in hall when beards wag all,
And welcome merry Shrovetide.
Be merry, be merry.

SILENCE
(sings) Enjoy, enjoy! My wife has it all,
Women are shrews, whether they’re short or they’re tall,
It’s a merry party when men laugh and joke,
So let’s enjoy ourselves this Shrovetide,
Enjoy, enjoy!
