I Rede You Beware of the Ripples I rede you beware of the ripples, young man I rede you beware of the ripples, young man Though the saddle be soft, you needna ride oft For fear that the girding beguile you, young man. I rede you beware of the ripples, young man I rede you beware of the ripples, young man Though music be pleasure, take music in measure Or you may want wind in your whistle, young man. I rede you beware of the ripples, young man I rede you beware of the ripples, young man Whate'er you bestow, do less than you dow The more will be thought of your kindness, young man. I rede you beware of the ripples, young man I rede you beware of the ripples, young man If you would be strong, and wish to live long Dance less with your arse to the kipples, young man.
