YOU'LL THINK E'ER MANY DAYS ENSUE. English, Air. The tune appears under the above title in John Gay's Beggar's Opera of 1728 (Act II, air XXXII). Kidson (1922) says the air was the traditional tune employed on stage for Ophelia's song "How should I your true love know."

You'll think, e'er many days ensue,
This sentence not severe;
I hang your husband, child, 'tis true,
But with him hang your care.
Twang dang dillo dee.
