"Weddings and Funerals" is a nursery rhyme or folksong and playground game. :''A wedding song we played for you,'' ::''The dance you did but scorn.'' :''A woeful dirge we chanted, too,'' ::''But then you would not mourn''. ==Origin== The verse is based on the verses and in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The exact words of this English nursery rhyme were incorporated as the translation of these verses in the International Standard Version (2008).〔(Matthew 11:17, parallel translations ) at Biblos.com〕 In context, the verse was spoken by Jesus as a reproach to those people who rejected both the austere lifestyle and preaching of John the Baptist and his own more accessible ministry.〔Matthew Henry's Commentary on Matthew 11:16-24, available online at (BibleCommenter.com )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Weddings and Funerals」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
