[Be your liquor small, or thick as mud]

Be your liquor small, or thick as mud,
The cheating bottle that cries good, good;
Then the master again begins to storm,
Because it said more than it could perform:
But if it had been in an honest Black Iack,
It would have proved better to sight, smell, and smack;
And I wish his soul in Heaven may rest,
That added a Iack to Bacchus's feast.
