Full twenty times over and twenty to that,
I musing have wondred what tis you'd be at,
You pine and look pale like the liquors that's flat.
For he's a cold Drinker,
That now will turn skinker.
Since thus runs the play,
Since thus runs the play,
If you sit up all night you are ready next day,
Since thus runs the play,
If you sit up all night you are ready next day.

There's a Pipe ready Broach'd that would not be shut,
With Legions of bottles prepar'd for the gut,
If you give but your mind to't you'l swallow a But.
Then stand not so dully
But laver the Gully,
VVith beer-bowl in fist,
VVith beer-bowl in fist,
If you charge him but well you may hit whom you ist.
VVith beer-bowl in fist,

Some idle Companions when with them you sit,
Will talk and fly high as if they had all the wit
But alas it appears there the Devil a bit.
Their Bisket Iests after
They've steept in their laughter,
VVith their pipes being broke,
VVith their pipes being broke.
And their Tobacco once out, they will vanish in smoak
VVith their pipes &c.

IV.

Some stately proud high Boys will rant it & call
As if they would tipple the devil and all,
But stand to them stiffly they will easily fall.
Then to it nere fear them
Set foot and come near them
By drinking about,
By drinking about.
Be their heads ne're so empty they can ne'rehold it out,
By drinking about,
Be there heads ne're so empty they can nere hold it out.

Some Punyes whose Cheekes are with blushes o're laid
To fuddle a gallon will not be afraid,
Put them to't and but tell them they drink like a maid
Then cry but have at it,
Lads will you be at it.
If e're they refuse,
If e're they refuse,
To water as thou dost or I let them chuse,
If e're they refuse
To water as thou dost or I let them chuse.
