THANKS FOR A WELCOME
For your good lookes and your clarrett,For oft bidding doe not spare it:
For tossing glasses to the toppe,
And after sucking off a droppe,
When scarce a droppe was left behinde,
Or that which nicknames wine, even winde:
For healthy mirth and lusty sherry
Such as made old Cato merry;
Such are our thanks that you may have
In blood the clarrett which you gave,
And in your service shall be spent
The spirits which your sacke hath lent.
