Sung by Plot-thrift and Cozen

What need we use many beseeches
Or trouble our brain with long speeches?
If we love, 'tis enough;
Hang poetical stuff,
As the rule of honesty teaches.

Chorus: if we love, 'tis enough
Hang poetical stuff,
As the rule of honesty teaches.

Why should we standing whining like fools,
Or woo by Platonical rules?
If they love, we'll repay't;
If not, let 'em say't.
What need they the help of the Schools. Chorus:

If they love etc.

But this must be won by romances;
And that, by verse and fine dances;
A third does delight
In a song yet at night.
You must crack a string which she fancies. Chorus:

A third does delight etc.

This must be extolled to the sky;
That you can get, do but flatter and lie.
But that lady's for me
That loves fine and free,
As real and ready as I. Chorus:

But that lady's for me
That loves fine and free,
As real and ready as I.
