Ballad Title The Claret-Drinkers Song; / OR, / THE GOOD-FELLOWS DESIGN. / Being a Pleasant New Song to the Times. Written by a Person of Quality. / Wine the most powerfull’st of all things on Earth, / Which stifles Cares and Sorrows in their Birth: / No Treason in it harbors, nor can Hate / Creep in where it bears sway, to hurt the State: / Though Storms grow high, so Wine is to be got, / We are secure, their Rage we value not: / The Muses cherish'd up such Nectar, sing / Eternal joy to him that loves his King.
