In praise of Masquerading, for Punch to sing his song.
And a masking we will go.

But some, I fear, who are not here, in masking most delight :
They wear a mask at all times, we only for a night.
And a masking we will go.

A mask conceals your beauty, ma'am, and pity 'tis — but hush !
I'd rather mask a pretty face, than put it to the blush.
And a masking we will go.

Each sighing youth, if such there be, who peeps with lover's eyes,
Will quickly find his sweetheart out, thro' all her thin disguise.
And a masking we will go.

If my good wife's among you, I'll know her ere "tis long,
For Punch's wife may hide her face but cannot hold her tongue.
And a masking we will go.

The lady of the mansion, I'm sure you'll all agree,
Can in a mask her face conceal — but not her courtesy.
And a masking we will go.

' Tis all a joke for you to think of cheating Punchinello.
There is no mask, or dress, on earth to hide an honest fellow.
And a masking we will go.

Now, by the Lord ! I know you all : — some few of you for wit —
And some — (you must excuse me) I know — for want of it.
