THE HOUR-GLASS
Second Pupil

Here is a subject—where have the
Fool's wits gone? (singing)
'Who dragged your wits away
Where no one knows?
Or have they run off
On their own pair of shoes?'

Fool

Give me a penny.

First Pupil
The Master will find your wits,
Second Pupil

And when they are found, you must not beg for pennies.

Third Pupil

They are hidden somewhere in the badger's hole,
But you must carry an old candle end
If you would find them.
