Don Jer. Come now for jest and smiling, Both old and young beguiling, Let us laugh and play, so blithe and gay, Till we banish care away. Don. Louisa. Thus crown'd with dance and song, The hours shall glide along, With a heart at ease, merry, merry glees Can never fail to please. Don Ferd. Each bride with blushes glowing, Our wine as rosy flowing, Let us laugh and play, so blithe and gay, Till we banish care away. Don Ant. Then healths to every friend The night's repast shall end, With a heart at ease, merry, merry glees Can never fail to please. Don. Clar. Nor, while we are so joyous, Shall anxious fear annoy us; Let us laugh and play, so blithe and gay, Till we banish care away. Don Jer. For generous guests like these Accept the wish to please, So we'll laugh and play, so blithe and gay, Your smiles drive care away. (Exeunt omnes.)
