THE LITTLE I DRINK.
“My Lord, pray excuse the remonstrance I makeTo the bumpers which still after dinner you take;
You appear what you told me just now to forget,
That the little you did drink you drank when you eat.”
“As you say, 'twas the little I spoke of before,
The great deal I drink is when dinner is o'er.”
