Chiding Catch ("Fie, Nay")
Fie, nay, prithee John! Do not quarrel, man!Let's be merry and drink a bout.You're a rogue, you cheated me,I'll prove before this company;
I care not a farthing, sir,For all you are so stout.
Sir, you lie, I scorn your word,Or any man that wears a sword;For all your huff, who cares a fig?Or who cares for you?
(Attributed both to Purcell and John Blow)
