Killing-care and grief-of-heart Fall asleep, or hearing, die. THE PEDLAR Lawn as white as driven snow ; Cypress black as e'er was crow ; Gloves as sweet as damask roses ; Masks for faces and for noses ; Bugle bracelet, necklace amber, Perfume for a lady's chamber ; Golden quoifs and stomachers. For my lads to give their dears : Pins and poking-sticks of steel, What maids lack from head to heel : Come buy of me, come ; come buy, come buy ; Buy, lads, or else your lasses cry ': Come buy. 86 SONGS... AND BALLADS SOLDIER'S SONG And let me the canakin clink, clink ; And let me the canakin clink : A soldier 's a man ; A life 's but a span ; Why, then, let a soldier drink. King Stephen was a worthy peer. His breeches cost him but a crown ; He held them sixpence all too dear. With that he call'd the tailor lown. He was a wig-ht of high renown. And thou art but of low degree : 'Tis pride that pulls the country down ; Then take thine auld cloak about thee. DOUBT NOT Doubt thou the stars are fire ; Doubt that the sun doth move ; Doubt truth to be a liar ; But never doubt I love.
