CHORUS OF PURITANS. | |||
Down with princes, down with peoples! Down with churches, down with steeples! |
|||
Down with love and down with marriage! Down with all who keep a carriage! |
|||
Down with lord and down with lady — Up with everything that's shady! |
|||
Down with life and down with laughter! | |||
Down with landlords, down with land! | |||
Whom the soil belongs to after, | |||
We could never understand! | |||
Pleasure — we can do without it; | |||
Down with Court and down with king; | |||
And — just while we are about it — | |||
Down with every blessed thing! |
