COURTIERS, COURTIERS (THINK IT NO HARM). AKA and see "King of Poland (The)." English, Air (6/8 or 6/4 time). E Minor (Gay, Howe): D Minor (Chappell). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The air appears in John Gay's Beggar's Opera (1729) under the title "Man may escape from rope and gun," and in Playford's Dancing Master , 7th edition (1686) as "The King of Poland." It is also on early half-sheet music and broadsides and in Thomas D'Urfey's Pills to Purge Melancholy (London, 1719), under the title "The Beggar's Delight." It begins:
Courtiers, courtiers, think it no harm,
That silly poor swains in love should be;
For love lies hid in rags all torn,
As well as silks and bravery:
For the beggar he loves his lass as dear
As he that hath thousands, thousands, thousands,
He that hath thousand pounds a year.
