Original text and translations

English.png English text

Do, re mi, fa, sol, la,
La, sol, fa, mi, re, do, do, fa.
For shame Sir, in charity, gargle your throat.
The raven ne'er croak'd so horrid a note.
O charming, soothing, bravo by Jove,
That ravishing note wakes the passion of love.
Poor fellow, when first he made singing his choice
He was cut for the simplet, instead of his voice.
