It comes from a fabulous poem recited in the Shakespeare play Much Ado About Nothing.
Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more, Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea and one on shore, To one thing constant never:
Then sigh not so, but let them go, And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.
Sing no more ditties, sing no more, Of dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so, Since summer first was leafy:
Then sigh not so, but let them go, And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.
A rather nice film was also made of the play. A brilliant cast and a setting to die for.
