Hail! D---p--s of wondrous fame
Why so long before you came?
All our hopes began to fail
When we heard, you took a sail:
. . . [11 more lines]
And teach us, young and old to sing
For all are our, Cephas and Paul
And young Apollos, whom they call.
Then let us sing, Hei derry down
As we walk about the town
. .. [11 more lines]
Then let us sing, hei derre down
Here we may sing from town to town.
. . . [10 more lines]
Then let us sing, hei derry day.
And we will sing while that we may
And while we sing, eke we will dance
. . . [17 more lines]
Then let us sing, hei derry dum
. . . [19 more lines]
Sing on dear sir, and as you sing
We'll join the chorus derre ding.
