Question:

Does this round have any relationship to Shakespeare, specifically the character, Falstaff? Sir John?

Fie Nay Prithee, John
Do not quarrel man
Let's be merry and
Drink a bout
************************
You're a rogue
You cheated me
I swear before this company
I caren't a farthing, sir, for you
You are so stout!
******************************...
Sir, you lie
I scorn your word
Or any man who wears a sword
For all your huff, who cares a fig
And who cares for you!!!
******************************...
It sounds like Sir John!!
Does anyone know who wrote the words?
It says that Purcell wrote the music, and calls it a 'catch' ... but in fact it is a round.

Just in celebration of Shakespeare...
