    I cannot sing the old songs
    Though well I know the tune,
    Familiar as a cradle-song
    With sleep-compelling croon;
    Yet though I'm filled with music,
    As choirs of summer birds,
    "I cannot sing the old songs"--
    I do not know the words.

Now, good Cesario, but that piece of song,
That old and antique song we heard last night.
Methought it did relieve my passion much,
More than light airs and recollected terms
Of these most brisk and giddy-paced times.
Come, but one verse.

It is not that I deem them low,

They go.

Unlike my subject, I will make my song.
It shall be witty, and it shan't be long.

Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care,
And come like the benediction

The restless pulse of care,
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
