To the Tune of Per fas per nefas.
A pox o' these Fellows contriving,
They've spoilt our pleasant design;
We were once in a way of true living,
Improving Discourse by good Wine.
But now Conversation grows tedeous,
O'er Coffee they still confer Notes;
'Stead of Authors both learn'd and facetious,
They quote onely Dugdalo and Oats.

A Traytor still gives a denyal,
When a Glass is fill'd up to the best:
By drinking we know who is Loyal,
A Brimmer's the onely Test.
He that takes it's untaunted of Treason,
He from all Impeachment is freed;
He may lose his Feet for a season,
But never shall lose his Head.
