| A Jolly Company / OF / Joviall Blades / Who laugh and are as merry as the Maids; / They sing and roare and freely spend their Chink, / And to each other in full Bowls 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 sorrows from their hearts. | ||
