| A jolly Company of jovial Blades, / Who laugh and sing, and are as merry as the Maids, / They sing and roar, and freely spend their Chink, / And to each other in full Bowles they drink: / They scorn such puny pinch-guts as are saving, / They think good Sack is only worth the having. / And being fully bent to spend their store, / They drink their Liquor off and call for more. / Thus while they freely tope off Sack by quarts, / They drive away all sorrow from their hearts. | |
