A Health to Bacchus.
[I]
Bring us up some Sack and Claret,Clean Pipes, and the best Varinus,
Weel swell our Veins,
And wash our Brains,
And Tom shall smoak his wry nose:
Then to Bacchus wee
With merry glee,
Whilest round our Cups are turning,
Will sacrifice
This Indian Spice on
These white Altars burning.
II
'Tis nought to Bleed to death Sir,We'l therefore talk no treason;
But with this Provission,
And Amunition,
Beat down the Fort of Reason:
Still will we drink,
Make our Arms cry clink,
Be free without Commanding;
Discharge the Can,
Till every man
Bid good-night too's Understanding.
