om
Peele's 'Old Wives Tale,' 1595, where it is sung. Music from J.
Playford, 1650 _circ._, but may be older.

[Music: Sir Toby

Three merry men, and three merry men, and three merry men be we,
I in the wood and thou on the ground,
And Jack sleeps in the tree.]

10. 'There Dwelt a Man in Babylon,' p. 71. _Tw. Nt._ II, iii, 80.
Music anon., but most probably later than Shakespeare's time.

[Music: Sir Toby

_slow_

Til-ly val-ley, Lady!

_lively_

There dwelt a man in Bab-y-lon, in Bab-y-lon, in Bab-y-lon,
There dwelt a man in Bab-y-lon,
Lady! Lady! Lady!]

Here is one verse of the 'Ballad of Constant Susanna,' to which Toby
refers.

'There dwelt a man in Babylon
Of reputation great by fame;
He took to wife a faire woman,
Susanna she was callde by name.
A woman faire and vertuous,
Lady, lady!
Why should we not of her learn thus
To live godly?'

11. 'Farewell, Dear Heart,' p. 72. _Tw. Nt._ II, iii, 102.

[Music:

Toby

Farewell dear heart, since I must needs be gone,

Clown

His eyes do shew his days are almost done.

Toby

But I will never, never, never die!

Clown

Oh there, Sir Toby, there, oh there you lie.]

This can hardly be the original tune to "Corydon's Farewell to
Phillis," from parts of the first and second verses of which the above
words are quoted. See Percy's "Reliques," Vol. I.

12. Here are two relics of music for the Clown in _Tw. Nt._ IV, ii,
probably of the same period as the above.

[Music: Clown

Hey, Robin, jolly Robin,
Tell me how thy lady does,
Hey, Robin, jolly Robin, tell me how thy lady does.
I'm gone, Sir, and anon, Sir,
I'll be with you again, Sir.]

For the rest of the words of 'A Robyn, Jolly Robyn,' see Percy's
Reliques, Vol. I. p. 148.

13. 'Whoop, do me no harm, good man,' p. 72. _Winter's Tale_ IV, iii,
198. The rest of the words unknown, but several ballads printed in
latter part of 16th century go to this tune--

[Music: Autolycus [Whoop, do me no harm, good man.]]

14. Stephano's 'scurvey tunes,' _Tempest_ II, ii, 41, see p. 73. "As
sung by Mr Bannister" [1667].

[Music: Stephano

I shall no more to sea, to sea,
Here shall I die a-shore.
The master, the swabber, the bosun, and I,
The gunner, and his mate,
Lov'd Mall, Meg, Marian, and Margery,
But none of us car'd for Kate;
