B minorBm       A augmentedA      G+G
Contents or Index of already publish'd books;A man carried a
B minorBm       A augmentedA      G+G
monkey about for a show, & because he was a little wiser than the monkey,...

grew vain, and conciev'd himself as much wiser than seven men.

Refrain 1:
G minorGm  FF  D#D#     FF
