Man's Life Is But Vain
by HENRY LAWES

Man's life is but vain
For 'tis subject to pain and sorrow
And short as a bubble.
Tis a hodge-podge of business and money.
And care, and care.
And money and trouble.
But we'll take no care when the weather proves fair.
Nor will we vex now tho' it rain
We'll banish all sorrow and sing 'till tomorrow,
And angle and angle again.
