[Nicolette:] When you were eight and twenty,
You were extremely wild,
Of wilfulness you'd plenty,
A giddy thoughtless child.
All life seemed sugar candy,
Hard bake and balls of brandy,
A little jack-a-dandy,
And quite unfit to mate.
[Cassandra:] And quite unfit to mate.
[Nicolette:] 'Twas dolce far niente,
When you were eight and twenty,
When you were eight and twenty,
When you were twenty-eight.
[Both:] 'Twas dolce far niente,
When I/you was/were eight and twenty,
When I/you was/were eight and twenty,
When I/you was/were twenty-eight.

[Cassandra:] But now I'm eight and fifty,
I've reached the prime of life;
I'm sober now and thrifty,
And fit to take a wife.
My boyish freaks are over,
No longer I'm a rover,
I'm fit to be a lover,
I've come to man's estate.
[Nicolette:] He's come to man's estate.
[Cassandra:] I'm careful now and thrifty,
For I am eight and fifty.
For I am eight and fifty.
For I am fifty-eight.
[Both:] I'm/He's careful now and thrifty,
For I/he am/is eight and fifty.
For I/he am/is eight and fifty.
For I/he am/is fifty-eight.
