For a great empire, fast undoing,
Something, indeed should have been brewing,
Better than brandy and strong beer:
Something was wanting, to my humble thinking,
Besides good eating and hard drinking,
To keep the leaky ship from foundering clear:
Yet 'tis well known that e'er the vessel's sunk,
The sailors commonly get drunk.
