    But her performance keeps no day;

    From their own music when they stray.

    Jack and Joan they think no ill,
    But loving live, and merry still;
    Do their week-days’ work, and pray
    Devoutly on the holy day;
    Skip and trip it on the green,
    And help to choose the Summer Queen;
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
