SONG.
[Now since we are met]
1
Now since we are met,And a round, a round set,
Fresh Joyes to beget;
Come, bless my right hand with a Bowl,
A health to the King,
And him that will bring,
The like Offering,
'Tis he, 'tis he is an honest Soul.
2
No Coffee we use,Our selves to abuse,
With plotting false Newes,
Then fill up my Glass to the brim:
In duty, and kindness,
All health to his Highness,
And to his Foes, Finis:
Till my Tongue like his Squadrons swim.
118
3
Now in the Seas bottome,Let the Dutch besot 'um,
Till we have forgot 'um,
And tumble and toss to and fro:
Like Victors I think,
Now our Pockets chink,
'Tis just that we drink,
Since the Dutch are dead-drunk below.
