English text

Fie, nay, prithee, John,

Do not quarrel, man!

Lets be merry and drink about;

You're a rogue, you cheated me!

I'll prove before this company,

I caren't a farthing, sir,

for all you are so stout!

Sir, you lie! I scorned your word,

or any man that wears a sword!

For all your huff, who cares a damn,

and who cares for you?
